While very interesting, that seems like it would be one hell of a fire hazard as well. Especially for the ones that are tightly packed in the middle of each bundle.

Sounds like it is out in a shed.

Also the guy who made this battery pack has the incentive to not burn down his house, whoever made yours has the incentive of one more day on the assembly line… I dunno, wouldn’t judge him too harshly.

Commercial solar home battery use safer battery chemistries which don't experience thermal runaway like lithium ion labtop batteries do..
