I don't know if Halon or CO2 help as the cobalt contains the oxygen in Li batteries that fuels the flame.
This is what 60KWH looks like

No every cell has the same info on them .... I've pulled the original ev packs apart and reconfigured them into 8s bricks 10 of them . The packs are compressed and contain original hardware to join cells.... it's been a lot of work really there definitely kia hyunday lgchem batterys

Ok, so a 5kW inverter.
Perfect, but which one?
I ask because I'm intrigued to know what inverter will take the voltage range of your 16S NMC battery (48-67V).

Selectronic sp pro SPMC481AU supports 16s li-ion supports up to 70v in the settings

Nice! Seem a nice 5kW unit able to output 12 kW for 30s and allow an input of 40-68Vdc.
The main danger with your battery is in case of overvoltage/overcharge, so be safe and add multiple protection level.
Something like the inverter and/or the MPPT is set to don't overcharge, the BMS look there is no overcharge and a second voltage recorder look a the BMS and stop everything in case of malfunction

The most dangerous part of this setup is not LG Chem cells, it's those stupid balancers.
If this setup ever goes up in flames I bet it will be caused by balancers.
