Seems to be a breakdown in your understanding of the lab599 Bo-500. It uses the safest battery tech, lithium iron phosphate.
I'm trying to find that information.?? According to the webpage of a reseller that was posted here:? " Use replaceable 18650 lithium-ion batteries"
Others have said it does in fact use LiFePO4 type cells.??? An official confirmation from Lab599 would clear this up but there's nothing on their website as far as I can see.
Your friend may have a great battery pack but it¡¯s far too big for QRP/SOTA needs be.
Well I'll tell him that next time he hauls it up to a mountaintop! Use cases are not all the same and it's nice to have options.
Maybe I¡¯m misunderstanding the relevance of your comment.
It was intended to help those interested in knowing the differences between common 18650 lithium-ion and LiFePO4 technologies and making informed decisions about which best serves there needs.
