I would love this for my home, as well as at a smaller scale for my homelab, and even potentially things like power tools.

Just recently a friend doing a home reno project had one of their drill batteries achieve thermal runaway, fortunately while they were home. Made me really think twice about the pile of tools in my garage.

I'd trade in just about every portable-scale Li-ion battery I own for a slightly less energy dense but safer alternative.

I was hoping eBike could use them. I've seen one too many of those go up. Possibly from shoddy 3rd party batteries.
