You mean I should move all the non-ethenol gas cans and large propane tanks for the generator away from the batteries? ?High voltage, but I don't think that had anything to do with the failure. Although, I didn't see recall of LG RESU 48V batteries.
My point was that using "Listed" batteries only makes you Dead Right, rather than being Dead Wrong.
Only partially, not entirely, I think.
They are non-LFP, a more dangerous chemistry.
But all batteries carry some fire danger. One forum member in Thailand was awakened by his fire alarms, and the large LiFePO4 battery bank was a total loss. Fortunately isolated well enough from the house. He now favors battery packs with welded busbars.
I posted in response to:
... which is true, but doesn't mean you won't have a fire.
I would favor putting all lithium batteries, listed or not, explody chemistry or not, in an "ammo dump", where their going up won't take anything else with it.
Maybe move my reloading bench too...
