Hi Andy

More interested in the standard Lithium Phosphate that are coming in as units for solar installs , like the Weco, Voltra , Hubble , Sunsyk etc as 5kw and 10 kw units

When you start getting to the bigger installs of 200KWH of batteries it becomes different.

What is happening at the moment is on 5 to 20KWH systems the chatter is around , " against regulations " to install unless it is behind a 2 hour fire rated wall which to me is incorrect .
Problem is insurance industry is starting to bring there own set of rules out including a special fire extinguisher which is also incorrect when you read MSDS on the battery packs coming in.

That is what I want to sort out and to do that I need scientifically proven tests , like the Weco data sheet that is attached further up that debunks thermal run away
