Yep. I'd never have a large battery like that in my house. Outside, a safe distance away, maybe.

Newer LiFePo4 (Lithium Iron Phosphate) batteries don't have the fire issues that the previous Lithium Ion generation did. They are a bit more expensive and heavier, but they are superior in every other way (safety, lifespan, max charge cycles).

Unless you plan to physically assault it with weapons, it’s extremely unlikely to catch fire.
