Battery Chemistry

I've ordered a FREY EV Pro dual battery direct from the factory.
One question I haven't gotten a clear answer on from FREY is the exact battery chemistry of the dual 48V14AH batteries.
So far I've been told the packs are supplied by Samsung. I think they are 18650 cells which most if not all electric bucks use. I asked if they are using Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) the more power dense Lithium Nickel Cobalt-Aluminium (NCA) cells or something else? I was told LFP by my not very knowledgeable sales rep' but I have doubts about that because the battery charging instructions only recommends a 40-60% state of charge for batteries in storage.
On a Samsung website for electric bike applications I read about the Samsung SDI 35E with high Nickel NCI Lithium cell chemistry. I've asked FREY if that is the what ifs hey are using but haven't gotten a reply.
Any thoughts from those battery knowledgeable?
 
I don't know about the technicality of battery chemistry, however packs are NOT supplied by Samsung.
The battery cells are.
When ebike companies say it is powered by Samsung, the pack isn't made by Samsung.
It is packed by third party, using third party casing, wires, BMS, etc.
Thanks Timpo, that's something I didn't know.
And I suspect the TP that puts the battery pack together likely isn't FREY.
