lfp or lifepo4 will give you up to 2000 charge cycles.but they are heavier.The lithium ion battery I got is lighter and gives better performance for the size and weight and should get about 800 charge cycles.In the world of bicycles "lighter is better" most times.they each have pros and cons.

alluminum box with keyswitch is usually a good way to go.lifepo4 or ncm lithium are both a lot better than anything else.Those water bottle shape ones could be used to build an invisible e bike

it has its own mount with a key so you cannot remove the bottle without the key. specs on it are less then the box battery. it is a 36v 8ah battery and the box ones are 36v 12ah and 48v 10ah batteries. it mounts in seconds. good match for a smart pie,
