About that big Tesla battery in Australia
« on: August 04, 2021, 08:39:31 PM »
A giant Tesla battery pack burst into flames during testing, and it took 150 firefighters 4 days to put out

This is one of the reasons I wanted the lithium ferrophosphate batteries in our battery pack* rather than the lithium cobalt batteries that Tesla uses.

*installed but not operational due to 1) a fault inverter from the manufacturer and 2) pending PGE Permission to Operate. Should have battery backup within 2 weeks.
