Do no use a 3 post battery with any lithium chemistry.

I have built my own LiFePO4 batteris and converted vehicles over to LiFePO4.

That 10ah lithium battery wont be able to start your vehicle when its cold.
If you attempt to charge a LiFiPO4 battery with a cell temperature than 20'F it will permanently damage its capacity.
Do no expose the LiFePO4 battery to under hood heat, that will ruin them too.
I do not recommend using Lithium starting batteries up north at all.
I live in new mexico and I have to bring my lithium batteries in at night during the late fall, all winter and early spring, I also relocated them inside the vehicle and put them on Anderson connectors to protect them from temperature swings.

I have accidently fried ECMs with as little as 18 volts using a battery charger with 100 amp "starting assist". So don't do it.
