Honestly I didn't think this thread was started to discuss lithium supplies or the market trends. I suggested diy lifepo4 to the OP due to the significant cost savings and flexibility with higher amp bms options. I just wanted to make it clear that there are different types of lithium batteries out there and typically when you see those videos and memes about fires burning out of control on an Ev of some kind, those are typically what's marked and advertised to the general public as Lithium-ion batteries and not lifepo4 which is safer and in fact cheaper than lithium-ion due to a lifespan than typically be 4x5 times longer regardless of raw material costs.
