🔥 Lithium Battery Safety – Important Guidance from London Fire Brigade

On average there is a fire from a lithium battery in an e-bike or e-scooter every two days in London.

Lithium batteries can pose a serious fire risk if they’re damaged, poorly charged, or used with the wrong equipment, among other things.

The London Fire Brigade has put together simple, practical tips on how to charge, store and look after lithium batteries safely. It’s a quick read that can help prevent overheating and fires at home or on the go.

Have a look at this London Fire Brigade video on the growing fire risk linked to e‑bikes and e‑scooters. E-bikes and E-scooters: London's Growing Fire Risk
