I hate to be the one to say it but LFP has arguably less fire risk than agm. A short circuit in an agm could be disastrous and AGM is not necessarily any safer or less prone to thermal runaway events than modern LFP. I'd recommend a cobalt free LFP like homegrid, simpliphi, or midnite if it were me..
