I'm about to build my 16S EVE 280AH LiFePo4 battery pack which will be going into a cupboard in the house. I would like to add some sort of fire detection in the cupboard.
Our current house fire alarm system has two types of detector available; 'Smoke' (optical smoke detection) and 'Heat' (for use in kitchens). Which one would be most appropriate for detecting a potential battery fire?
I suppose it comes down to whether the battery will produce a lot of smoke or a lot of heat if it burns. The smoke detector would be susceptible to dust causing false alarms if not cleaned regularly in a cupboard.
