LiFePo4 and LFP are the same just different abbreviations.

So the individual cells may have a slower max charge rate but I believe LFP generates less heat so at a pack level they most likely can hit higher charge rates without hitting thermal limits.

Yup, I think it also has the perk of allowing two people to watch the same show/movie.

There are also newer planes that have the dual jacks but both are standard 3.5 mm stereo jacks, but they are backwards compatible with dual jack headphones.

So the energy density at the cell is lower, but due to better thermal performance you can get similar pack level energy density.
