5th year of living dangerously with LiFePo4 batteries

So is the problem of a fire caused by a dead short across the battery terminals? Shouldn't a inline fuse coming off the positive terminal take care of any fire problem? I realize a wrench or something like it placed across the terminals would cause a massive short and possible fire, but lacking that, whats the problem? Do these things spontaneously combust? I have two in my ship and want to know. I shorted two different batteries, by placing upside down on a metal plate. The LiFEPO4 was a non event. The battery management shut down immediately. On the other hand the Lead Acid got quite hot melted the case. Richard
