LFP !== Li-ion.

If you "full de-charge" your car battery that battery is toast, so that's not a useful comparison.






LFP is certainly a Li-ion battery chemistry (and also a Lithium Iron chemistry).

Sure, and I'm no expert on the subject, but when someone writes "a typical Li-ion battery" they mean the common rechargeable lithium battery with lithium cobalt oxide, not lithium iron phosphate. LiFePo4 is not a "typical" Li-ion chemistry yet, unfortunately.
