- stevespang 5y agoIt's a legal and therefore a cost driven move - - less lawsuits from batteries catching on fire - - less performance from the iron phosphate version too, less range, cobalt in pyro lithium batteries is expensive . . .

This way pouch cells outperform hard cased ones so much on capacity, but in reality it's a big delusion as you still have to put structure to hold cells in place — and you can't do it with flimsy, paper thin casings.
