@praxeology @liaizon can you even get LiFePO4 in 18650 format?
Just get lithium they're so cheap
I've got this thing which is really great

@feld @praxeology oh yeah I guess I meant LiFePO without the 4

@feld @liaizon The LiFePO4 batteries do come in the 18650 format yeah. But I think, given the slightly different voltages, it's best (and safest) to use a charging circuit tuned to LiFePO4 voltages and current limits. But nice to see that this one seems to support the fancy USB-C charging profiles. I know about cheap power banks but I want something that is built to last. Cheap often has consequences that I can't abide.
