The voltage from that four cell LFP back is much too?high for the sBitx. A three cell LFP would be a better option, though even that is a bit outside the specified 6-9V range when fully charged. Three cell LFPs are not as widely available as the four cell models; Bioenno makes them in three sizes, all of which are expensive for their size.

We should be looking at LiFePo4 packs:
