Caution for Lithium batteries
Hi Neighbours. I'm wanting to post a message on the dangers of having lithium batteries, especially in cars, bikes, scooters. There have been many fires throughout NZ that have a NO-warning combustion fire that is extremely intense, fast and wild.
My neighbour had their house burnt down in the early hours 2 years ago because of a E-bike in the garage. There was also an expensive car, bbq, and gas tank in the garage. The saving grace was there was a fire alarm in the garage, the concrete base was lined with 1.5 hour fire gib board and a fire proof internal door. This allowed the family to escape. The garage door was blasted out and twisted, the car was a blacken metal frame by the ferocity of the fire.
Co-incidentally the FENZ had education talks at St Thomas School a couple of weeks before.
How safe is the second hand E-V, hybrid car, bike, scooter that you have got, or are giving for Xmas? Have these items had their batteries checked for damage, have they been in a crash?
Are the battery cells in good condition?
There has been very little media news, details, education to these fires, so this allows the public into thinking there is not a huge problem.
How much information in the news is given to cars that just combust by itself?
The Fire Service can recognise a lithium battery fire and put them out with specialised products. I I don't know if normal fire hydrants can put these fires out.
What word sums up 2024, neighbours?
If 2020 was the year of lockdowns, banana bread, and WFH (work from home)....
In one word, how would you define 2024?
We're excited to see what you come up with!
