I am sure there is another side to the story that he is too embarassed to admit, such as a poorly wired EVSE. LFP does not catch fire on its own. It can still cause wires to overheat and start fires if not adequately protected by overcurrent devices.
Maybe it's a Ford thing. He was using them to build systems and the new stock sitting idle just went up so he tells me. I aksed him 3 times they were Life4 and he said yes but what do I know...He claims his entire home is gone... I could drive 15 miles to check the lie meter.
Sadly, many have zero clue of the different variants of lithium ion...
Yeah was thinking the same i just googled it can't seem to find anything tangible.
That would explain a lot. Even Tesla has transitioned the Powerwall 3 to LFP. It will still take some time for the building officials and Fire Marshalls to recognize the difference.
I think he may be pulling my leg and they were regular Lithium, Battery Hookup was selling Ford EV batteries for a great price but last time I talked to them they said they don't push regular lithium batteries anymore just for the reason of this. Yaa, if he is lying to me should I burn his new house down?
We will have to put Fire Marshall Bill on this immediately, he will straighten it out in a flash...
Regulatory whizz-dumb takes an eternity
No worries, if he is really that naive about batteries, he won't last long in the solar industry.
The Mach-e is available with Lifepo4
