Sorry video will not play.Basically a man brings his e-bike battery in to charge-after entering elevator the battery starts smoking by the time he placed it on the floor int explodes and engulfs into a huge fire and the man dies.When these batteries short out they are very devastating- they burn fast/ hot and are hard to extinguish-just want people to be aware of this new technology.Be safe

What was he hunting?

He was hunting high fence fallow deer with a cross bow. He used his ebike to beat the crowd to his location down a non-motorized hiking trail where his outfitter had a bait pile of corn. He hit “a little far back” so he decided to leave and let the 12 guides he hired to look for it in the morning.
Needed to charge his battery as he didnt want to lose power and have to walk back in the morning for his conquest photo.

Some cities are regulating if you can bring those scooters inside to charge.Quite a few fires also from cordless hand tool batteries on chargers

Even in the military when deploying to the combat zone we were not permitted to have them uncontained on an aircraft.... and the mil ises a LOT of lithium powered products. They had special handling and containment procedures and were treated much like explosives/highly flammables

In NYC there have been a lot of fires caused by the cheap chinese lithium batteries the food delivery guys use. The problem is when their original quality battery goes they replace them with the cheap chinese battery. Of course these guys, a lot of them illegals are not going to follow the law anyway.

A gentleman starts a thread to possibly save a life or at the very least save someone from a very dangerous situation... and couple of blockheads mock him and a person who perished from the accident... you need to check your sorry asses before making such sophmoric comments. scentman

I agree on its relevance, so I was just posting a possible scenario to tie it into the Bowsite bow hunting world.

The video is on revolver news— Chinese man dies in elevator when e-bike battery shorts — pretty bad way to go — yes just letting people be aware—-I have seen Teslas go ,also fire department just lets them burn down——- all fun and games until it happens to you.

I don't leave battery chargers unattended. Son inlaw who works for dewalt let me know about the possibility of fire years ago. It was still funny Norseman.

It’s hard to get away from lithium batteries in today’s world. All my power tools are lithium, even some of my lights. When the lead acid batteries play out in my golf cart I was thinking of going lithium, but I charge and store it in my garage. That doesn’t seem like such a good idea now.

If you buy a large lithium battery, make sure it's one with thermal overload protection.

Because of the fire danger regarding Lithium batteries I'm going to start putting all of our cell phones and laptops out in the yard when not in use. Better safe than sorry

Me personally I have lithium power tools for the yard, batteries for my boat as well as ice fishing gear. To be honest I am not really worried about it. My biggest worry is how I keep boat batteries warm when I charge them in temps below freezing. A little out of the box thinking and it’s not an issue. Winter storage isn’t an issue. Make sure the battery is around 60% charge and let it go. Come March in the upper Midwest when I want to start fishing there are plenty of nights still when temps are below freezing.
I am not too worried about charging a lead acid battery either but I have seen a handful of those blow up over the years. Definitely do not want a spark around a charging battery that’s for sure.

Seriously I'm not worried, just practice correct procedures and I'm good.

Dave, it's not so much me being an oversensitive bleeding heart, I liken it more to you being a callous a- wipe, with the mentality of a 12 yr old getting off on other people's pain and suffering. ;0)
How's that, better? scentman

“also fire department just lets them burn down”
