Why do most of these use LiFePO4 (LFP) batteries?

Reviewer consensus

Nearly every unit in this roundup uses LiFePO4 chemistry, which trades a bit of energy density for much longer cycle life and better thermal stability than older lithium-ion packs. For shoppers that means thousands of charge cycles and a longer usable lifespan, which is why it has become the default for power stations marketed for home backup.
