🔥 Battery Bank Charger Fire 🔥
This happened while a battery bank was charging in a bedroom.
Within minutes the charger overheated and caught fire, burning the wall and power outlet.
Luckily the fire didn’t spread further…
But it easily could have turned into a house fire.
⚠️ Battery banks should NEVER be left charging unattended.
⚠️ Always charge on a hard surface.
⚠️ Only use approved chargers and cables.
Fires like this happen more often than people realise.
If your workplace hasn’t had its electrical equipment tested recently, it’s worth getting it checked before something like this happens.
