Here's what I ended up with. Its double walled, hopefully contain fire well if it happens. Smoke detector right next to it, and a small cutout for the wires to go in. I'm going to seal them with high temp RTV, hopefully starving any fire of O2. Not cheap, but how much is your house worth?
For what I know It is a chemical fire, in other words a chemical reaction. Not sure the starvation will help you. I an not sure the smoke detector will be needed. The smell will give it away if you had a cell burning.
What worries me about my storage (in an ammo box) inside my shop, far from ignitable materials is that I have a bunch of batteries together, if one goes... So, I will get 2 more ammo boxes and reduce the count in each ammo box.
