I’m putting together a solar power system here and I have decided to place the lithium batteries outside and not inside because of the fire risk.

This house has a large outdoor wood furnace that supplies hot water to the house and heated water for the heating system. I don’t use it anymore as it’s too much trouble to deal with feeding the wood into it...

I’m putting the lithium batteries, the switching power supplies that charge the batteries and the big inverters inside the furnace...what safer place in case a fire breaks out.... I will just run 12vdc, 24vdc and 120vac into the house from the furnace.. along with a cat6 UF cable for data and control. I’m going to route the wiring in/out of the furnace through it’s chimney...

A bit unhandy I will admit but if those batteries touch off maybe the house will survive...

If Trump had not been cheated out of office I would not be installing solar.

be prepared

Have you looked into Edison iron batteries?
