Mount it in a waterproof box outdoors, and just expect that sooner or later it will catch fire, but when it does nothing will be damaged.
That's what I did with my DIY solar batteries - and so far they haven't caught fire.
- jacquesm 3y agoYou still need thermal management if the temps can go near or below zero.
- londons_explore 3y agoDepends if you care about longevity...
- jacquesm 3y agoTrue, but charging while too cold can also damage the cells in ways that are not immediately visible and that in turn might trigger thermal runaway rather than just cell capacity degradation. That's because the cells on the outside of the pack will likely be much later to the party than the ones on the inside during charging. But any good BMS will simply refuse to charge as long as the pack is too cold.
