And yet folks and possibly even posters to this thread plug in laptops, phones, tablets and any other device that has some sort of lithium chemistry that is even more unstable than lfp in their homes, vehicles, rvs and not think twice to walk away while it charges.
Take a look inside this typical large RV lithium battery - notice all the cells with all those interconects between all those cells - and that good sized circuit board at the top that's probably loaded with intergrated circuits, capacitors, resistors, voltage regulators, temperature sensors, etc., etc.. You want to trust all this stuff to never go hay-wire inside an area where you're sleeping, or where you're pet is sleeping while you're gone? Not me:

(I won't own an electric car quite yet, either, for the same reason. ;) )
If I feel the need to see what a large lfp battery looks like I'll look at my 500ah 20 prismatic cells that I live off of everyday for the past 41 months in my rv.
I think more about of the ding dongs that comes out to the Forest to camp/ party and starting a fire that will kill me and the dogs than my lfp batteries while I sleep.;)
