That would depend on how long you've had it and what situation actually caused the fire, vs what the manual says about it.

Also I'm pretty sure none of us are lawyers, and if any of us are they probably wouldn't make any recommendation beyond "talk to a lawyer".

Do you have pics or schema from your setup ?
For us to see what was the situation, what could go wrong.
And sorry for your cabin

Confirmed:
Bluetti AC100 1000Wh/600W Portable Power Station
BLUETTI AC100 is a HUGE CAPACITY Eco-friendly portable power station with battery capacity of 1000Wh.Top-Brand LG Li-ion Polymer battery cell, 67568mAh/14.8V (equivalent to 270270mAh 3.7V)).600W pure sine wave output, PD Type-C Quick Charge (Max.45W).12V Car Cigarette Lighter, Emergency Lighting...
LiPo is the most dangerous lithium chemistry.
.... and would you have any info on the recent recall of LG batteries?

Where is cabin located and where did you but the AC100? These are both relevant for any potential claim as every state is a bit different in liability.

I am trying to think on possible scenarios that could result in such a catastrophic results.
How many and how big solar panels did you have on the cabin?
What equipments were connected to the bluetti ?
Could that happen that the solar array was too big and the bluetti was charged almost all the time to nearly 100% ?
mrzed001 confirmed they are LiPo. possibly made by LG who were in the Australian news because of their recall of batteries used in larger systems "LG Energy Solution has determined that there may also have been issues in the early production processes. As a result, some batteries containing cells manufactured during a specific period may overheat and catch fire when they are exposed to harsh external environments."

Naturally there maybe no connection to your fire.

)Chose suitable solar panel (DC16-40V).
(2)Put the solar panel under strong sunshine, face to the sun positively.
(3)Take the part MC4 cable, connect the solar panel and the product.
(4)When the product is charged fully by the Solar, it will stop charging automatically. Please take out the charging cable, and turn o the product.
Note: Please make sure the cable connecting is correct and stable, or will cause the connector in high temperature status or sparking.
Note: Please charge the product under 0~40°C temperature environment.
Note: During the charging, it is normal situation if the product is getting a little bit hot.
Note: The charging time is di erent when light intensity is di
# 4. Will stop charging automatically when fully charged

I suspect this to be a LiPo fire
@Will Prowse can you put this thread to the new Up in smoke topic please
They have good ideas dealing with LiPo batteries. The charging bunker is good, but the best is the sandbag on top of it.
If ... sorry When the battery goes into thermal runaway it melts the sandbag's plastic and sand is pouring in top of the battery.
