Fire behaviour, handling and the UN 38.3 paperwork that travels with every shipment.
Fire behaviour and thermal events
LFP vents rather than cascading in most abuse cases, but the pack still needs isolation and cooling if it goes.

Questions
Short answers to the ones that come up most.
Is LiFePO4 safer than NMC?
Yes. It does not cascade the way NMC does in most abuse scenarios, and it has no cobalt in the cathode.
What paperwork ships with the battery?
The UN 38.3 test summary, the safety data sheet and the state-of-charge declaration.
How should packs be stored in a warehouse?
Cool, dry, away from ignition sources, at partial charge, with a fire plan that assumes a single pack event.
