Wow, sorry to hear that. Yeah, these lifepo4 cells will run away if you do not keep an eye on them. The real force metal boxes has those aluminum foil like pouches and 8 a box for 24 volts. I had the gem(?) ones in the 2 kilowatt kit and the website I think was AZ power claimed they had vents and were safe all around.

Unltil I fully understood the whole setup I carried a class 3 fire extinguisher around with me and the one included in the kit of the prius 2 box.
