Lithium iron phosphate batteries are lithium ion batteries. Same thing. The iron and phosphate are in the form of ions.
Thanks for informing us that all lithium ion batteries are the same thing…

When it was strongly implied that they are "diiiiiiiferent" earlier in the thread, seems like a useful point to make.
While they all have "lithium" the chemistry of batteries typically found in portable electronics and that found in electric cars (and used in RV's) are not only very different but also have different operating (and danger!) characteristics.
While not exactly 'apples vs oranges' it is not 'apples vs apples' ether.
