I advise against using EV packs for home storage. They are not listed for purpose, and if installed in or against the structure and something goes wrong, your insurance company will try to deny your claim. Not to mention if something goes wrong it may kill you or your family.
Get a proper UL lusted home battery that's LFP and either mounted outside or vented to the outside. I love DIY, but this is one thing that's just not worth it if something goes wrong.
