[QUOTE="blokefromstoke, post: 541690, member: 36093"] It's actually a room we use as a study - and there is then a bathroom and an ensuite separating the rooms we use to sleep in (family of 4). Is there an issue with noise / heat / fire risk? I had an alternate location downstairs - and that would place the batteries under my sons bedroom - and at the bottom of the stairs - which although a minimal fire risk - I felt the preferred option would be to have them in the corner of the house upstairs. From what I've read - LifePo4 batteries have a minimal risk of self ignition - but if set on fire by another source - they will burn - but not explode. We also have choice of house loft - or a well insulated outbuilding - or a poorly insulated garage. The loft is super hot in summer and super cold in winter - so that didn't seem ideal - for fire risk or battery performance. The latter two choices would involve excavation and voltage drop - but happy to be corrected in my current tack :) [/QUOTE]
