E-Bike Battery Fire Hazard

E-bikes, or electric bikes, are powered by lithium-ion batteries. These batteries pack a lot of power into a small size, making them ideal for e-bikes and electronic devices. However, they come with a fire hazard.

The problem is that lithium-ion batteries contain highly-explosive chemicals. If these batteries overheat or are physically damaged, the chemicals can ignite into an extremely dangerous explosion.

People who are burned by e-bike battery fires can suffer 3rd-degree burns within seconds. There is also a risk of battery fires that occur when the battery is charging (especially at night). These fires can quickly spread in homes and residential buildings, resulting in tragedy.
