If you don't have a bottom layer the sand will immediately fall
Actually thinking about it - why not have everything encased in sand all the time, you'd just have to be a kid playing in a sandbox when doing maintenance

Jesus. No cell balancing, protection or monitoring that I can see, and most importantly - wires directly soldered onto the battery instead of spot-welded. That's a fire hazard waiting to happen. People, if y'all ever build your own battery pack, please think about safety. Or if you don't, place a giant bucket of dry sand above the pack, with the bottom layer being made of acrylic or other plastic that melts. That's a…
"Behind the success of this project lies an unwavering determination to overcome technical challenges. Glubux had to solve several problems over the years: cell balancing, electrical safety, and storage management. But his system keeps improving. For example, his energy production capacity has increased from 7 kWh to 56 kWh."
"This is nonsense and dangerous"
"Wow look how thoughtful this design is, the cells are individually fused!"

Edit, digging in, each single cell is fused, very nice work, and exceptionaly safe to run. As good as anything built, anywhere. https://secondlifestorage.com/index.php?threads/glubuxs-powe...
That is an astounding claim, and requires astounding proof.

Fair point. The problem is, the cost for such a consultation will run into the five figures, that's more than even a brand new battery pack setup from a reputable brand costs.
I don't see how a short consultation on the matter would exceed 3-4 digits. It's maybe an hour from a specialist to see what is needed. Saving your bacon later on is worth some cost. Worst case, you might also have existing recommendations or fire code/regulations for battery energy storage systems in your area, and while those specifically may be overkill they give an idea of what is considered necessary. Maybe you…
