I prefer LFP for that added safety factor... but even more for their huge increase in battery service life.
Cycle Life 800 cycles to 80% capacity
Conversely LiFePO4/LFP batteries can last a decade and handle 5,000 cycles at 80% depth of discharge.

But lithium-ion is more energy dense and lighter. And although not as safe as LiFePo, this unit is still very unlikely to cause problems. This device would be great if you want a power station to lug around a lot. It would be great for car camping or taking on day trips. A LiFePo battery with the same performance characteristics would be significantly bigger and heavier.
I got this same deal from Wellbots a while back and think it's a great value.
I'm curious where the new "Delta 2 Mini" end up in their whole lineup though. It seems a little too close to the Delta 2 for them to make the D2 Mini just like this one. They did re-shuffle the capacity/output offerings of the River 2 series units vs their first gen counterparts.
Sure, I would love it if it's has the LFP battery, but I can't wait for another year or so till the new Delta 2 or "Delta 2 Mini" drop to this price again. If I completely cycle the battery once per week (highly unlikely), it's still going to take more than a decade to reach 800 cycles and I doubt the battery chemistry and inverter would last that long.

But I believe LiFePo power stations will usually be about 30% heavier for the same capacity apples vs apples.
Edit: The Delta 2 is a newer gen device selling for over twice the price so not really apples to apples comparison
Edit: Not a serious question guys, just a reference to the power station thread from yesterday.
