For LiFePO4 battery, you can fully drain the battery without any worry of damaging it. While for Lithium ion, you may have to leave as much as 20% charge (exact number depending on the particular battery) in the battery at any time to avoid long term damage to the battery.
Lithium-ion are notorious for their temperature behavior as they get overheated very commonly. There have been instances of lithium manganese oxide batteries exploding in laptops. Thermal runaway is common in these batteries.
LiFePO4 batteries are 100% incombustible, so there is no chance of it catching fire or exploding. There is no overheat in these batteries regardless of how you charge them. Additionally, there is zero thermal runaway.
Lithium-ion batteries usually provide a cycle life between 300 to 500 cycles. LiFePO4 batteries have a substantial cycle life of about 3000 cycles.
Many Li-ion batteries can go through around 500 charge and discharge cycles before degrading in performance. LiFePO4 batteries can go through thousands of cycles before their performance begins to drop.
