Exactly. I've worked with LiFePO4 cells all the time when I worked in the plug-in hybrid automotive industry. These cells are intrinsically safer than other lithium chemistries.
I built multiple 40AH packs using CALB, Thundersky and some large cylindrical cells for demo robots. They work fine provided you have a BMS to monitor the cells and protect them from over charging and discharging.
