    Came across this yesterday. Sobering thought.

    Hmm, batteries bought from alibaba ... what could possibly go wrong?

    But too dangerous for any investigation, so the cause cannot be established? Methinks the nanny state has gone too far.

    Same thought. The comment that stuck in my mind was about having a inverter and battery combination that was tried and tested to work as one. 2 different makes of inverter and 10kw battery in a 19" housing suggest install is a cobbled together DIY job although it is reported the owner is an electronics technician of some experience. I have a 10kw battery in an outbuilding but the casing is thick metal and measures 460x460x640mm and weighs in at 100 kg. Even so it is a concern that these events can happen. In a risk analysis scenario the likelihood of an event may be low but the consequences are extremely high, as reported in the article.

    I know an electrical engineer who designs grid connections - I wouldn't trust him to wire a plug!
