Hi Clint
A book written before 1997 is too old to mention or appreciate LiFePO4 accumulators.
Note: LiFePO4 = LFP = LiFe

As of September 2022, LFP type battery market share for EV's reached 31%, and of that, 68% was from Tesla and Chinese EV maker BYD production alone.
currently hold a near monopoly of LFP battery type production,
however, with patents having started to expire in 2022 and the increased demand for cheaper EV batteries,
LFP type production is expected to rise further to surpass type batteries in 2028.

Notably, the energy density of Panasonic’s “2170” NCA batteries used in 2020 in Tesla’s Model 3 is around 260 Wh/kg, which is 70% of its "pure chemicals" value.

- Cycle life from 2,700 to more than 10,000 cycles depending on conditions.

LFP chemistry offers a considerably longer than other lithium-ion chemistries. Under most conditions it supports more than 3,000 cycles, and under optimal conditions it supports more than 10,000 cycles.

pioneered LFP home storage batteries for reasons of cost and fire safety, although the market remains split among competing chemistries. Though lower energy density compared to other lithium chemistries adds mass and volume, both may be more tolerable in a static application. In 2021, there were several suppliers to the home end user market, including SonnenBatterie and . continues to use NMC batteries in its home energy storage products, but in 2021 switched to LFP for its utility-scale battery product. According to EnergySage the most frequently quoted home energy storage battery brand in the U.S. is Enphase, which in 2021 surpassed and .
