Having trouble getting real answer to this question. Nephew says that if a lithium cell gets wet it will immediately explode in flames. Not sure if that applies to lithium ion, LifePO4, both, or neither. Don't really want to test this myself. But I am interested in building my own packs for my 36V trolling motor and wondering if I can use wood boxes (sealed as best I can), or if I need to purchase poly boxes that can be glued closed or closed tightly with rubber gasket seals. How much danger is there in having LifePO4 cells in an environment that has potential to get wet? It would be in a protected but not waterproof storage area under a bench seat. Thanks.
