I'm so glad LFP batteries exist, at least at home you don't have to worry about a massive fire like you do with other lithium ion batteries.

Within a decade battery technologies capable of thermal runaway should disappear.

But there's still the possibility of combustible off gassing with LFP.

Haven’t we been surrounded by lithium ion batteries for decades now in phones, laptops etc? I’ve never had anyone I know experience a fire with one.

A fire, no, but I have come pretty close to an explosion with my 2019 Lenovo X1 after only 2 years of use: https://imgur.com/a/bVawtNv
