I would start by choosing my lithium technology carefully. I have only
installed Blue Ion LiFP batteries, and have relied on Blue Planet's
assurances that lithium ferrous sulfate technology is non-flammable and
thus safe in residential applications.

Without trying to be a fear monger but definitely concerned as an
installer –
This ship caught fire carrying both conventional & electric vehicles &
Sank
On this note and various numerous U-tube videos of lithium car fires,
Should we be concerned with installing lithium batteries in homes?
What would our liability be in the event of a home fire?
Ours or the manufacturer?
What would happen to our liability insurance rates if there is a rash
of fires?
Any thoughts as we all install more lithium batteries in homes?
