Not very high when you factor in cycle cost. Most FLA batteries MIGHT make it to 500 cycles but that's IF you have a big enough bank to keep the C rate for change and discharge VERY low.
Most prismatic lifepo4 cells are rated to at least 4k cycles, and that's at max charge and discharge rates. It is very likely that the cells I've got will last 20 years in the use that I put them through. FLA cannot compete with that.
That's a fairly clever plot point. Yes, hydrogen fires are more picky, but, not hard to have issues other than conflagration. Free hydrogen is exceptionally corrosive, and, the face remains that if you let your batteries get to the point of venting hydrogen, lots of things have gone wrong. (Yes, I'm aware you get hydrogen when charging, but, this is why I prefer sealed batteries like AGM.)
