This is a TSO'd 12V battery:

To get approved it looks like any lithium ion battery will need a
hardened case with venting to the outside of the A/C.

"at an incredible introductory price of $699"

This is for a starter type/size battery (it says "840 Peak cranking
amp").

Curiously that web page does not say what the chemistry is,
other than
"lithium", but the PDF brochure says "Custom made prismatic
LiFePo4 cells".

I wonder: the (large, installed) lithium batteries that caught fire
on some
airliners, what chemistry were they?

The DreamLiner batteries were LiPo (Lithium Polymer) I think. I
understand they are now in an externally vented metal box? Any
Boeing pilots like to confirm?
