Utility-scale batteries are a little bit different from these units in cheap consumer electronics.

  They're different in scale but the cells are pretty much identical. There are only so many manufacturers and so many form factors and just about all of them are used industrially as well as for consumer stuff. Where they differ is how the cells are organized, safety measures taken outside of the cells themselves and things like cooling, mechanical construction of the assembly and so on. And even big manufacturers get things wrong, notably: Bosch. They have a pannier mounted e-bike battery pack that has serious problems with water ingestion, boards frying and balancing wires catching fire.

    Your proof that utility-scale batteries don't work is that some random e-bike battery pack has design flaws? Utility-scale battery packs are climate-managed and are in real actual use right now. O'ahu has sunsetted its coal power generation and added utility-scale batteries: https://insideevs.com/news/614726/tesla-megapacks-hawaii-arrive-coal-is-finished/ https://insideevs.com/news/614726/tesla-megapacks-hawaii-arr...
