Never heard of one with LFP. The cobalt and Magnesium Lions are
definitely out there. Was this a 6650 model Michael?
Going to be fun times doing a failure analysis on this one.

Two days ago, one of my clients came home to find the door of his
powershed blown off its hinges and a smoldering Discover AES. The case
was still intact and the entire room is coated with a fine
graphite-like powder. The fire department was unable/unwilling to do
anything to cool the battery down and it smoldered for a day. 199
degrees fahrenheit after 18 hours. Discover is taking this seriously
and their response has been great. They are in contact with the cell
manufacturer to find a "best practices" for the clean up of the room.
They also have said that this is a first for them (lucky me).
I'm just curious how rare or common LiFePO 4 explosions are? I've never
heard of one in the context of residential storage. This has me pretty
freaked out.
