Your main consideration with LiFePO4 is the going to be the fact that they shouldn't be charged when temperatures are low (near or below freezing). OTOH, if you fully disconnect the batteries from the TM phantom loads, they WILL last the entire winter (with no need to re-charge).

"lithiumwerks" is selling a small battery pack at the wrong Voltage (25.6V, 25Ah). A bigger so-called "12V" battery, actually 12.8V, would be more appropriate and cost less.
