An update on lithiumXXX batteries

[pengyou]

In the past few days I have browsed many posts on this site and noticed a lot of new batteries mentioned. Can someone tell me which battery pack/bms combo is the safest and most dependable? I am specifically interested in the lithium and lithium variation packs

Thanks! Yes, I have heard a lot of good statements about these kinds of batteries. What I am hoping to get are tangible statements from people who have used them or close to the source of people who have used them. Keep 'em coming :)

I have a Yesa LiFePO4 pack and it's great so far. It lasts substantially longer than I expected it to and all-round seems like the perfect battery for me.

Everybody who tries LiFePO4 seems to think you can't go wrong with 'em.
