Lithium iron phosphate is not susceptible to runaway. I am going to go out on a limb here and say that I have not seen a non LiFePO4 chemistry drop-in battery offered in the market. LiFePO4 charge curves are consistent for the same chemistry. Granted there may be suttle differences in the voltages specified for charged status and float stage but these are based upon bms differences. Plenty of good quality batteries offered on the market without aluminum "shielding" inside the cell cases.
