Without trying to be a fear monger but definitely concerned as an installer
- 

 

This ship caught fire carrying both conventional & electric vehicles & Sank

On this note and various numerous U-tube videos of lithium car fires, Should
we be concerned with installing lithium batteries in homes?

What would our liability be in the event of a home fire? 

Ours or the manufacturer?

What would happen to our liability insurance rates if there is a rash of
fires?

 

Any thoughts as we all install more lithium batteries in homes?
