It’s not lithium. This battery wouldn’t be a fire hazard.

My house is charged. It’s a fire hazard.
It is waaaaaaay more likely that they’ll be an issue with an EV or ice car in your garage to catch fire than a storage battery like this. This or sodium batteries can’t have a runaway thermal “event”. The chemical reactions aren’t there for it.
