My father and I continue to be at odds regarding lifepo4 safety. he is insistent that it is inherently unsafe citing all the tesla fires/failures and inability to contain/stop runaway combustion, as well as insurance companies failing to issue payouts to owners and requiring them to park EVs outside of their dwelling. TSA flight restrictions for batteries, etc.
obviously, I am not talking about LTO, or li-po chemistries... only LFP.
so, given the dozens of videos on Youtube disproving it....
(geez... just do the search for yourself)
but... i have to be honest, I still have that nagging "concern" in the back of my head. I have two CHINS 24v 100ah LFP packs powering my system. they're in the basement well-pump room, properly connected to a 2kw array and very modest loads. no external ignition sources nearby. the concerns come with the highly combustible hydrogen produced during the reaction, which is HIGHLY flammable.
the concern comes with stuff like this...
would it be silly overkill to build a sheetrock/drywall cover vented to the exterior of my house with steel conduit?
