Lithium batteries definitely have their advantages, the cost is unfortunately a downside. That 36v 65Ah battery is pricey but not overly so if you take into consideration that it would take 12 of the same battery as I have to make it equivalent.
The thing that makes them so resilient is they have a BMS ( battery management system ) board that doesn’t allow you to over discharge or overcharge the individual cells, and keeps them balanced. You can damage/abuse lithium cells and this typically ends in a fire. LiFeP04 (Lithium ion) is much more stable and resilient than the Li-Po (lithium polymer) cells found in your smart phone.
