According to the online portal "Photovoltaik Magazine," a 30kWh battery exploded in a single-family house in Lauterbach on Friday, 06.10. According to the homeowner, it was a LiFePo4 battery.

Yes, however, the statements of the homeowner should be taken with caution according to some other articles. Especially because other articles about this specific case mention smoke development (one person was even treated) before the explosion occurred. Since the batteries do not burn like lithium-ion batteries, there must have been something else involved (if the statements are correct). As a homeowner, I also wouldn’t say that I built a DIY storage system myself or stored other "dangerous" materials in the basement. Senec and its batteries have been criticized for some time now. Something is not running smoothly there (keyword conditioning operation). LG also seems to have problems. Otherwise, the probability of being struck by lightning is higher than the photovoltaic system catching fire/exploding. At least based on the known damages.
