Someone finally did it.

The Server power supplies are top of the line products. Not some dinky crap that goes into consumer pc's.

If the server power supplies fail into a fire, boy that is just a lawsuit on the PSU company. These power supplies go into expensive servers that store valuable information. There are multiple safety features installed to prevent the psu to go into catastrophic failure. And if it does fail, there are backups.

If there are any electrical shorts, the server PSU just turns off or does not supply output. A good charger will do the same. So the only thing left is your batteries that can go up in flames, which can be taken care of with a lipo bag. MA knows this too, which is why they sell their 24V server setup. It's dummy proof.

Once again you are correct. The PSU's that are being used are some of the best on the market. No argument there. BUT when you jerry-rig two of them together with a couple pieces of wire you completely bypass the safe design put into these PSU's by the manufacturer to keep them from failing. These PSU's are made to be inserted into a server cabinet where they do not touch anything else, and the connections are made in a very specific way. In fact I am willing to bet that the manufacturer has provided specific instructions with these when they are packaged new that state if they are used in any other configuration not prescribed by them that it is a violation of its intended use, which relieves them of any responsibility for failure and/or any incident caused by such a violation including but not limited to fire.

Like was said before your going to do whatever your going to do. You may never have a problem. Best of luck.
