No idea the chemistry.

That Viking EV guy was saying in another video that LiFePO4 recently became more expensive than some other lithium ion battery type commonly used in cars where energy density is important. Put conversely, that other common type is now cheaper than LiFePO4... kinda making LiFePO chemistry pointless to put in vehicles.

EDIT:

"Recently, the battery chemistry of Megapacks transitioned from a cobalt-containing, manganese, and nickel-heavy NMC cathode formula to lithium-phosphate LMP models."
