I`m seeing plenty of reports of these causing fires here, a multiple daily occurrence, burning houses, garages, apartments. Worst culprits seem to be batteries powering electric bikes and scooters(? food delivery bikes). Modifications and non specified chargers may be involved, especially from that big offshore producer exporter. Left on charge too long, unsupervised, seems an issue too.
I`m considering storage of my 4 domestic tool batts, for the drill, leaf blower, chainsaw, etc,outside the house,and not in the garage. I don`t keep any on the boat. It would need to be weather protected.
This news report is on point:https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-03-14/new-south-wales-lithium-battery-related-fires/103585608
Are others doing/considering something similar?
