Safety & Fire Prevention

Score the battery room before commissioning. Pick chemistry and dimensions; the page returns a 0–100 fire-safety compliance score, the chemistry profile and the extinguisher matrix.

Step 1

Battery room inputs

Tell us what you have. Sample defaults shown.

Score

Fire-safety compliance

Score
76/100

Several items must be closed before commissioning.

Chemistry profile

LiFePO4 (LFP)

  • Thermal-runaway onset: 270 °C
  • Hydrogen vent required: No
  • Fire class: Class D / Li-ion
  • Extinguishing: F500 or copious water (not CO₂ alone)

Lowest runaway risk among Li chemistries. Still requires BMS.

Findings

Risks

  • No smoke / heat alarm
    Add a heat alarm in the battery room rated for the room temperature class.
  • No fire separation
    Banks ≥ 10 kWh should sit behind a 60-min fire-rated wall away from sleeping or escape areas.
Reference

Fire-class extinguisher matrix

Pick the extinguisher by class — never water on a Class C live circuit.
