A) How to ask a question !
- Provide General Location (Country/state/province & nearest major city)
- Provide Make & Model of equipment in question - provide link to product when possible.
- Ask a clear question with a description, not just "it won't work".
B) DO NOT BUY ANYTHING until you have a Plan !
- There are NO Once in a LifeTime Deals that "must" be purchased right away, deals happen all the time.
- Local Rules, Regulations and Codes must be checked so your plan can be carried out. Prevent Shocking Surprises !
- Be Patient, take the time to learn & understand, and do not make assumptions (they are almost always wrong).
The old adage is very true: "A Failure to Plan, is a Plan to Fail." Most often it is quite costly and potentially dangerous.
Unrelated, not sure would it would fit in actually, people talk about Battery Pack / Bank Containment options.
A Pack itself is one beast but multiple packs in a bank is yet another. Traditional Boxes for Lead Acid Batteries can work depending on what they are made of, some of which are not fire-resistant let alone fireproof. Some people are using Fireboard (the concrete variety) which can be a bear to deal with and has it's own issues such as moisture retention. There is an Alternative Board manufactured with Magnesium Oxide which is often referred to as Mag-O Board. It comes in 4'x8'x1/2" sheets, can be cut with a standard circular saw (don't waste a carbide blade on this, it will kill it) and screwed together with coarse drywall or wood screws. This can be used as a Heat Shield for fireplaces, woodstoves as well as a water-resistant tile backer for floors & walls as well. Also, it is about 1/2 the cost of Cement Fireboard and is available in Big Box stores.

I think some clarification somewhere as many people come in with Lead Acid experience and of course have THAT knowledge which does not necessarily cross into Lithium Land. For example, adding battery packs to a bank over time. With Lithium we can add packs over time UNLIKE lead which will always be drawn down by the weakest battery and the whole battery aging thing which does not apply the same. This is often a Big Whallop because if people think, Ohh I have to get 30kWh of storage and all at once that's a Big Pile of Dough all at once, not realizing they could do it in 10kWh incremements over time if they wanted to. The initial "shock" factor can not only put a Bad Taste "1st impression" but can & does scare some folks away. I feel THAT should be addressed boldly and blatantly for newcomers.
Just some ponderances. Hope it's useful.
