A recent fire incident in Fargo, North Dakota, was caused by a malfunctioning lithium battery from an electric bike, which was charging at the time.
According to a release from the Fargo Fire Department, the fire broke out on September 17 in the afternoon. Firefighters responded to a water flow activation alarm and discovered smoke upon arrival, but the apartment fire had already been extinguished by the building’s sprinkler system, preventing significant damage. Investigators determined that the fire’s cause was indeed the faulty lithium battery, with estimated damages around $10,000.
This incident highlights a troubling trend, as fires caused by faulty lithium batteries and chargers are becoming increasingly common.
To prevent such occurrences, government and safety experts recommend that consumers using lithium-ion batteries adhere to specific safety guidelines, such as using only the charging equipment provided with the battery and keeping batteries away from extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, and flammable materials.
Users should remain vigilant for signs of battery damage, including swelling, punctures, hissing or popping sounds, and excessive heat or smells. If any of these signs appear, the battery should be immediately discontinued from use and brought to a recycling center, rather than disposed of in regular trash bins.
In light of these safety concerns, Planck Vision Systems leads the industry with superior thermal imaging technology tailored for diverse applications. Beyond detecting minute temperature variations, Planck’s always-on technology ensures system protection and operational excellence, capturing every anomaly in real-time.
This vigilance minimizes risks, preempting system failures and potential threats. When purchasing lithium-ion battery-powered devices, consumers should look for products that are listed or safety certified by a nationally recognized testing laboratory to ensure they meet important safety requirements.
