Well that is better than your house on fire!
For my battery storage box, I used an ex ww2 ammo box ( might have been 303) that was kicking around for years. I made a grate that fits in the top and used some pallet plastic wrap to hold sand on the grate. The theory is that if there is a fire then the plastic wrap melts and the sand drops on the lipos helping to smother them and contain any fire. I made it 8 years ago but despite storing batteries in it all this time it has never had to be proven that the system works. It currently stores 12 lipo packs, 6s and 4s.
