I'm not sure I buy into all the hype.  1st off Lithium Iron batteries 
are much safer if slightly less power dense than Lithium Ion batteries. 
A modicum of common sense should keep you more than safe.  I am 
currently running a 36V LiFEPo for a trolling motor.

If you want to lean into all of that Will Prouse has a fairly extensive 
library of videos on YouTube tearing into various batteries and battery 
assembly.  I think he is more focused on home power banks and server 
rack batteries, but there is a tremendous amount of practical knowledge 
there.  I don't recall if Will has torn into the portable power pack 
market to the same degree, but its worth a look see.

With most of these the cells are the same or similar (more powerful 
cells are becoming common).  The difference are in assembly quality, the 
BMS, and the quality of your inverter.
