Indeed! More than getting ripped off on capacity, I'm super scared of using large capacity lithium batteries in general. Having seen small samsung phones blow up, I'm a little scared and have a lot of fuses and cut off switches.

To be fair, there is no real contest between a good LiFePO4 cell and some Samsung battery as thermal runaway on the former is near impossible in normal conditions.
