I'm considering LiFePo4 on my motorcycle where weight can really make a difference.
2 of the batteries are made with CR26250 cells. The original battery, the small one uses 20 cells, the second larger battery uses 28 cells.
Then the super battery uses eight AMP20 cells.
No BMS.

Here is the latest update to my LiFePO4 battery project:
