LiFePO4 Battery Best for All In One Solar street light

A rechargeable battery technology based on lithium ion technology that uses a lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) cathode. Lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries withstand numerous charge/discharge cycles and are considered safer than lithium ion because they are more resistant to thermal runaway. 

Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4, LFE) is kind of Li-Ion rechargeable battery for high power applications, such as EV car , Power Tool and RC hobby.  LFP cells feature with high discharging current, non explosive, long cycle life (>2000@0.2C rate, IEC Standard), but its energy density is lower than normal Li-Ion cell (Li-Co) (higher NiMH cell).   LFP cell has 3.2V nominal working voltage and shall be cut-off power at 3.6-3.8V per cell during charging. Please see the table below to see comparison between LFP and other rechargeable batteries. LFP battery has the lowest cost if considering its long cycle life
