Seems like getting a spare BMS and shielding that would be the easiest.Is there anything to be done that will minimize risk?
Have you researched threads here on diysolarforum regarding this? Are you concerned about humans setting one off or the sun putting it to us?
Seems like getting a spare BMS and shielding that would be the easiest.
Protecting a battery that is connected to devices/electronics would be extremely difficult to protect. Even if you could protect a battery, it would likely be cost prohibitive, especially when compared to what a spare BMS would cost.
And having a spare BMS on hand is always a good thing anyway.
You could always use Lead acid.I did a brief search on the forum and with the Duck search engine. No luck on anything yet.
My source of worry is three-fold:
1) US fedgov crosses every red-line they encounter in Ukraine and appears to be trying to start an NBC exchange with Russia.
2) We are in the process of a pole-flip and (my belief) a micro nova. Persuasive people in-the-know say the 12,000 year cycles are the worst and we are at the end of one of those 12K cycles now. It's not a question of "if" it will happen .... the question is "when".
3) My other gear is "EMP hardened" and assuming the protection works -- that makes my battery pack the weak link. A blow out here means no storage.
I think so. More than electronics by quite a bit anyway.Do you think the physical lithium batteries are immune to an EMP?

Guaranteed to survive zombie apocalypse or Crazy Leaders.
EMP is really only a concern for long wire runs.
Hard to say. For sun based EMP they are long amplitude waves so very long wire runs needed to have an impact. Nuke based EMP has a full frequency spectrum so shorter wires could get a V spike but not a lot of amps. I doubt it would burn any medium/high power circuits but IC/CPUs could be destroyed if they are in the surge path.Any sense of what constitutes a long wire run? Hundreds of feet, or thousands of feet?
Regarding point #1, good luck to you. Dead batteries will be the least of worries among many more serious concerns for those who survive.I did a brief search on the forum and with the Duck search engine. No luck on anything yet.

Fab an outer shell and then ground that.Vendor tells me that there is no EMP protection available for SK48V100 SOK batteries. Is there anything to be done that will minimize risk?
Sure would appreciate any advice .....
Really? This laughable opinion is being put out here over half a year ago and nobody calls bs? On a forum where the results of some of the greatest scientific achievements are being discussed? Negating any real research into the topic done with the same principles and methods which brought you batteries, semiconductors and smartphones, in essence all those things you wish so dearly to protect from a politicized doomsday fantasy?2) We are in the process of a pole-flip and (my belief) a micro nova.

No offense but to me that pretty much sums up prepper logic: I'm preparing for a scenario that is more or less likely to come in the future with unknown consequences instead of trying to be a part of the solution of one or more of the countless threats that exist in real life in the present. It always sounds to me like prepper wouldn't want to stop a catastrophe but rather long for one.There is nothing wrong with being prepared in every scenario you can think of ... all preps are cumulative, from the most basic (a few days supply of food, water, electricity, etc.) to the most extensive (LDS-level or better, spare parts, redundant systems, emp cages, etc.), and everyone gets to choose how far down the path (how many scenarios deep) they'll be ready for.
There are very common scenarios (weather events, riots, etc.) happening every year, and very uncommon scenarios (nuke, emp, covid) happening periodically (100-year cycles, or not yet happened), and the most unlikely (zombie apocalypse, etc.) Any prep for anything is better than nothing at all.
I would spend time gladly on thinking through a scenario, and deciding if any preps needed tweaking to help accommodate a scenario, no matter how unlikely ... my pockets aren't deep enough for some of them, but I at least have thought about them. For someone to toss out a (new) scenario, thank you ... there's another one I hadn't thought about yet. Costs me nothing to think about them.
No need to bash someone for deeper pockets, going deeper down the path wrt scenarios ... it's all good prep-wise.
