    These are very small sizes compared to a whole-house system or even one that could run my servers for 24 hours, but the NMC power bank could easily start a house on fire,

    Can I ask if you’ve acquired a battery fire blanket or box that you could use in an emergency for your smaller packs?

    and the LFP units could easily fill the room with highly toxic smoke.

    This is my concern for my situation. Not only is the vapor produced highly toxic for inhalation, but also a very high concentration of hydrogen (35%-55%). I’d thought about trying to build in a ventilation system that I could engage, and then a follow-on detection system that could trigger the vent to run, but with that high a concentration of hydrogen, I’d be worried about the vent fan or relay igniting the hydrogen from a spark.

    So today, I too and using the YOLO method. I’ve purchased really high quality UL 9540A Compliant LFPs, but that only goes so far.
