They're all Lithium Ion types; LiFePO4 is one of a number of chemistries actually used to implement the type. LiTi (LTO) NMC, NCM, etc., are other variations.
FWIW, most companies (even ones that say they do) don't make their own cells or batteries, but just buy them from some company in China that stamps the chosen brand name on them. Sometimes companies actually understand what they're ordering and have them custom-built to specific designs with specific cells, but it doesn't seem to be typical.
I haven't done any checking on the linked company's claims in it's "about us page" that implies they (ChargeX) actually manufacture their own stuff in the USA and elsewhere, but that they are still working on opening a manufacturing plant in the USA. (which contradicts their first statement...unless they don't actually make their own stuff yet but are only about to start)

- 2023 COMPANY INTRODUCTION
Global Presence:
CHARGEX® Lithium Battery Engineers have over 25 years’ of combined experience manufacturing LiFePO4 batteries. In January 2010, our group established and pioneered the world’s first drop-in replacement lithium batteries. Over a decade later, our lithium ion batteries are the industry standard for lead acid replacements.
Factory Overview:
CHARGEX® sets the highest standards of performance, we have multiple factories in the United States and around the world that are selected with precision insight into providing exceptional products and a commitment to integrity. Our exclusive relationships with these factories are an effort by our founders and engineering group to provide our clients with the highest quality and most reliable batteries that power the world. We are constantly renewing our relationships to ensure quality and integrity is maximized to improve the products we manufacture.
United States Manufacturing Plant:
With the determination of our team and the demand to bring lithium battery manufacturing to the United States, CHARGEX® has started multiple acquisitions and established its first United States based battery cell assembly plant in Houston, Texas. This location is where CHARGEX® will soon build high-tech batteries in the U.S. Phase 1 is primarily focused on manufacturing prototype batteries for our current U.S. Aerospace & Defense Industry partners.
Technology and R&D:
CHARGEX® has been innovating the lithium battery industry since the beginning, with relationships that span a decade, we have a great team and winning culture. Our Technology and Research & Development team are constantly putting forward new patent designs that will soon revolutionize the battery industry.
Our large R&D team often pioneers battery technology that powers the globe and brings innovation to many military and aerospace institutions. Our commitment to our clients includes constant innovation with the latest technology and trends to support their development.
The History:
From 2010 to present day, the engineering group at CHARGEX® developed the world’s first plug and play, drop in replacement lithium ion battery that is now the industry standard worldwide. Throughout the past decade, hundreds of the world’s most prestigious companies and institutions have contracted our engineers to develop and produce highly customized, specialty lithium batteries for applications ranging from satellites and submarines to aerospace and naval military applications. These prominent organizations engaged with our engineers to conceptualize, design, engineer and manufacture Class A Lithium Iron Phosphate Batteries where quality and safety were vital to their mission critical applications.
