As a new user, I find it odd there is no "Best Practices" tab for new and old users to compile what is generally considered the best methods to build or install LIFEPO4 battery cells, modules, banks or powerwalls, and related products such as BMS. This could start with simple issues such as safe mounting positions, or unsafe like mounting prismatic cells on their side. Other issues such as the need for fuses [or lack of] at the individual cell level, with photos and anecdotes. This should include some trade-offs considered along the way. Some obvious additions like why no one should use a PWM solar regulator/charger on LIFEPO4 cells should be added.
In addition, there are numerous individuals and small companies who salvage near new and used battery modules assembled by some of the best and brightest engineers. Many of these modules contain unique or brilliant methods to protect or improve the life or safety of the cells. When these Best Practices are observed, they should be photographed and shared with the DIY world to add to our common knowledge and improve product safety. This DIY Forum is as good as place as any to get started.
I have been a Telecommunications Engineer specializing in radio & microwave for more than 50 years and am still learning. I just wish it were easier for everyone to learn more thoughtful information, faster.
