    Fire Risk with Lithium Ion Phosphate Batteries

    I am looking for solid information around the risks of Lithium Ion Phosphate Batteries installed in so called " living areas"

    There is an ongoing hype around thermal runaway , dangerous gasses being released etc etc .

    A lot of the hype is due to Lithium Ion batteries which have since been replaced with Lithium Ion Phosphate batteries and as far as I am aware only Lithium Ion Phosphate is allowed into SA

    You will see that there is always referral to Fire regulations and placement of batteries - If you read the regs it reads something like " The continual narrative that fire regs do not allow batteries in living areas actually asks that the risk is taken into account when placing batteries.

    I am attached a Weco test that was sent to me which debunks the thermal run away theory

    Does anybody have similar info on different makes of batteries available , not you tube videos that are put on by random people , actual research papers or spec sheets
