      LFP batteries have huge supply capacity, and have very high value. Amazon, or other sources, are appropriate for a personal project at low cost.

        If you have the time or inclination can you tell me if I should wait for solid state batteries or just use the mature LFP. I’m fully aware of the impending tariffs and am already factoring thay into my budget.

          LFP batteries are better for EVs/mobillity (with NMC better for ebikes/perfrormance). In some parts of the world, LFP may become more expensive due to extra tariffs, while other parts it can become even cheaper due to high production capacity, and tariffs elsewhere. In the next 1-2 years, LFP is likely cheapest and best option. In 5 years, maybe sodium ion is super cheap.
