ABRIDGED Information

lithium iron phosphate batteries - 
The materials used in lithium iron phosphate batteries offer low resistance, making them inherently safe and highly stable. The thermal runaway threshold is about 518 degrees Fahrenheit, making LFP batteries one of the safest lithium battery options, even when fully charged.

A Guide To The 6 Main Types Of Lithium Batteries
https://dragonflyenergy.com/types-of-lithium-batteries-guide/

#1. Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP)
The primary benefits, however, are durability, a long life cycle, and safety.
Their performance can also suffer in low temperatures.

#2. Lithium Cobalt Oxide (LCO)
LCO batteries were common in small portable electronics such as mobile phones, tablets, 
losing popularity to other types of lithium batteries due to the high cost of cobalt and concerns around safety

#3. Lithium Manganese Oxide (LMO)
LMO batteries are commonly found in portable power tools, medical instruments, and some hybrid and electric vehicles
The main downside to LMO batteries is their short lifespan. Typically,
LMO batteries will last 300-700 charge cycles, significantly fewer than other lithium battery types.

#4. Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide  (NMC)
The benefits of NMC batteries include high energy density and a longer lifecycle
They also have higher thermal stability than LCO batteries, making them safer overall
The major drawback to NMC batteries is that they have a slightly lower voltage than cobalt-based batteries.

#5. Lithium Nickel Cobalt Aluminium Oxide (NCA)
The ability to perform in high-load applications with a long battery life makes NCA batteries popular in the electric vehicle market. Specifically, NCA is the battery of choice for Tesla
With NCA technology, the batteries aren’t as safe as most other lithium technologies and are expensive in comparison

#6. Lithium Titanate (LTO)
All of the previous lithium battery types we have discussed are unique in the chemical makeup of the cathode material. Lithium titanate (LTO) batteries replace the graphite in the anode with lithium titanate and use LMO or NMC as the cathode chemistry.
The result is an extremely safe battery with a long lifespan that charges faster than any other lithium battery type.

Many applications use LTO batteries. Electric vehicles and charging stations, uninterrupted power supplies, wind and solar energy storage

fast charging, an extremely wide operating temperature, a long lifespan, and superb safety because of their stability

They offer low energy density, which means it stores a lower amount of energy relative to its weight when compared to some other lithium technologies. Additionally, they are very expensive.

--
Additionally, the most common types of off-the-shelf batteries found in stores are alkaline batteries. Most of the AA and AAA batteries in use today are alkaline batteries that use zinc and manganese dioxide for the chemical reaction to store energy.

Before rechargeable lithium batteries gained popularity, most rechargeable batteries were nickel-cadmium (NiCad). NiCad batteries use nickel oxide hydroxide and metallic cadmium as electrode materials. While not entirely obsolete yet, NiCad batteries are becoming less popular as lithium batteries take over the rechargeable battery market.

SO FAR, 4/22/2022, I have not found/used any decent rechargeable batteries
