New LiFePO4 appears to have always been cheaper than traditional "lithium ion".
LiFePO4 appears to have a shorter life, lower energy density and worse cold weather effects.
If the leaf had LiFePO4 it would be useless in the winter.
Bit LiFePO4 is supposedly easy to make and doesn't require any hard to get elements.
