I have seen a lot of talk on the Youtube channels about where you should house your battery banks.The general consensus that I see isthat itshould be in a separate "shed", several feet from your home. In case it were to catch on fire, since Li-ion is very hard to put out. This would keep your home/dwelling safe from the fire.
Anyone ever though of something like this? It's a bit more expensive than your standard stick built shed.https://www.budgetshippingcontainers.co.uk/sales/12-ft-cladded-shipping-containers-manchester/Sadly, I don't live in the UK where this one is sold. But, a small sized steel shipping container with wood cladding, that can be painted the same color to match your home. That would be ideal in a larger community of homes where you don't have much land, and where you may have community restrictions on the look and feel of things (like sheds). For instance, I live on a golf course, and there is a rule where any shed must be of the same construction style and materials, and be painted the same color as our home.
Pretty stupid, but I think this shipping container made of steel would be able to contain the fire until it runs out of oxygen. The wood cladding helps with the local ordinances that might be in effect.
Thoughts?
