about 15 hours ago I release info that I have possession of a DIYPowerall that started to smoke and eventually catch fire on youtube
All I know from a quick 1-2 min on the phone was that a powerwall had caught fire & I was welcome to come pick it up.. Full of trust and fear I jumped in the van and went on my way..
Few hours later I was back at home pondering my entire project and if I could sell it all and buy a Tesla Powerwall. A two min roadside conversation took place where he cranked out a whole lot of info while shoveling cells from one van to another like drug dealers trying not to look suspicious
The short story is - Fire alarm sounded, the battery shed was found to be full of smoke, cells were cut out of their wall mount, rushed outside & at some time while carrying them out fire started shooting out from two of the cells. Hose was aimed at all the batteries laying on the grass and they had a good spash of water to cool them down - with two 40P batteries ended up inside a bucket of water for a few hours.
I've taken a bunch of photos of what I have here check them out, its scary stuff...
