There's entire communities of DIY energy storage hackers (like r/DIYPowerWall). You'd usually house these contraptions in a freestanding shed in your backyard, far enough from anything flammable, and monitor the thing very closely (voltage, temperature, ambient sensors, etc). Some of the pictures look like home-made starship interiors.
(Edit for clarification: I do not necessarily endorse this kind of activity.)
- jacquesm 3y agoUnfortunately they don't spend nearly enough time explaining all of their decisions and lots of the related youtube channels have a following that is not in line with the safety of the advice provided. Freestanding structures are a great way to ensure that if - or should I say when - it goes that at least it will only be a monetary loss. There are some youtubers that are basically setting people up for an accident without any indication of the danger levels involved. To be fair: the same goes for some professional gear that you can just go out and buy and which people routinely charge in their hallways and attached garages. E-bikes, gardening gear etc.
