Where would you put this battery in that trenchcoat gamut? Inside a server rack, fwiw. https://signaturesolar.com/eg4-lifepower4-v2-lithium-battery... Was definitely one of the harder parts of our solar install to get comfortable with. | ||||||||

Bigger, fewer, more chill cells, fairly robust trenchcoat. (IIRC, these packs are 16 100ah LiFePO4 cells in a steel case w/ built-in fuse, breaker, and BMS that monitors individual cell health and pack temperature, w/ automatic cut-off if any of that goes out of spec. The weakness is primarily the MOSFETs on the BMS potentially failing shorted. Fortunately, they've added some sort of additional fire suppression beyond just "steel case" in recent-ish versions of these packs) | ||||||||

I can't see what the construction looks like but the mention of 'fire arrestors' gives me a lot of hope. If you haven't designed a battery that can take a cell runaway safely, you haven't done the work, and clearly they've done at least that much. | ||||||||
