Good Evening,
I am currently working on taking my building (work/home) off grid with 6 100ah @ 51.2v LFP Signature Solar batteries. I have another thread going about mixing chemistry with another LG chem Li-Ion 40kwh battery stack.
It seems as though i wont be able to put both setups on the same bus, however I still have saftey questions on both chemistries.
My main focus is safety and after seeing first hand bad experiences with thermal runaway/ battery fires, the way i look at these has forever changed the way I will approach them in the furture.
I am having a hard time figuring out where to put these batteries. I would like to put them inside for obvious reasons, however the thought of a fire scares me enough to put them in a climate and humidity controlled enclosure outside.
The EG4's from signature solar are obviously controlled by a BMS and are well packed into a metal housing however what are the chances a cell could fail or BMS fail and not stop some type of fire.
The Li-Ion LG Chems on the other hand scare me even more even though I will be using a quality BMS. What are my options? Should i be this concerned?
