Yes it is a safer alternative for the LiCo that is commonly used ina LapTop Battery but Energy Density is Lesser i.e. you would require a larger size Battery for LiFePo4 as compared to the LiCo.

You need to a minimum of 20 charge/discharge cycles to no less then 2.5v/cell.You should be good after that.Otherwise the batteries will PUFF,you can still use them for a relatively low discharge device like your tx,they won't catch fire or explore or smoke even after they are puffed(i use my 6 month puffed state lifep04 battery in my starter box.)
I have not heard of lifep04 storage ,but you do have a setting for these in icharger or similar hobby charger.

hello!
I can asure you that lifepo4 batteries is not as good as lipo batteries.
If you want to be more powerful and more safe ,lipo batteries will be your best choice.
