Canlithiumbatteries catch fire when not in use

If you follow these tips, you can enjoy your E bike or E scooter while keeping yourself, your neighbours and your loved ones safe.

They are the rechargeable batteries in electrical items such as mobile phones, laptops, e-scooters, e-bikes and e-cigarettes. The device you’re reading on right now is probably powered by a lithium-ion battery.

An RCD is a lifesaving device designed to prevent fatal electric shock if you touch something live. They can be plugged into a wall socket, be part of the wall socket, or added to your fuse box.

How to preventlithiumbattery fire

We’ve seen an increase in the number of fires caused by lithium-ion batteries. See how you can use and store them safely to reduce your fire risk.

If one cell of a lithium-ion battery overheats, it can enter a state of thermal runaway which can quickly spread to other cells in the battery. This is an explosive chemical reaction similar to several fireworks going off at once. With such ferocity and intense heat, it cannot be put out easily.

They are a main cause of waste fires and can be extremely dangerous when thrown away with general rubbish, or mixed with recyclable materials like card, metal and plastic. Lithium-ion batteries are extremely sensitive to high temperatures and inherently flammable. These fires quickly spread and are hard to put out, causing a lot of damage.

Converting pedal bikes into E bikes using DIY kits bought online can be very dangerous and pose a higher risk of fires as they may not be safe. If you want to convert your bike, go to a reputable retailer and have it fitted by a professional.

Lithiumbattery risk assessment

These batteries are safe during normal use, but present a fire risk when over-charged, short-circuited, submerged in water or damaged.

In the wake of state mandates and highly visible real-world events that demonstrate the critical need for body cameras, Digital Ally is proud to offer its Body Camera Subscription Program.

This image was taken at a fire we attended involving an electric bike. Our crews had to rescue five people from a building due to the escape route being blocked by the fire.

With the ability to automatically activate our FirstVu HD body-worn cameras and in-car video systems with the company’s patented VuLink® technology, our officers no longer have to think about pressing a button to record interactions. This functionality allows for us to meet our goals of increasing the safety for our officers while ensuring that we capture a comprehensive perspective of the event.     Sheriff Rick Clark | Pickens County Sheriff’s Office (SC)

Electric bikes and scooters are changing the way we travel, but if not used correctly, they come with risks including severe fires. E bikes and E scooters are powered by electric motors using lithium-ion batteries. Lithium-ion batteries hold more energy than other batteries, but they must be stored and charged properly to reduce the risk of fire. A fire could start due to a substandard battery, charging the battery incorrectly or damage to the battery.
