If you are comfortable with the knowledge that these batteries can catch fire then go for it. Tesla's have Lithium Ion batteries and some catch fire. Just like those things the kids ride around on today, they can catch fire. Phones catch fire some times. That's why they don't recommend leaving them plugged in to charge over night while you are sleeping. Li-ion batteries are very sensitive to high temperatures. I use an AGM with a good amp hour rating and I don't worry.
Do you have a link showing a single instance of self-induced thermal runaway happening outside a lifepo4 cell? Would love to see it.
BTW, if you're YT fan, puncturing the outer case of a lifepo4 cell with a metal spear does not constitute self-induced thermal runaway outside of a cell. That's equivalent to puncturing the gas tank on a vehicle and having it explode. What's the point?
