Lithium ion batteries can fault and cause fires. They burn fast, hot and can start a large fire very quickly.

๐Ÿ”ฅ Below is the footage from a Christchurch home where a lithium ion battery failed, causing a fire.

๐Ÿ”‹Remember that lithium ion batteries are in so much of our everyday life, from phones, power tools, e-bikes, power banks, and much more.
๐ŸชซCharge them in a cool place, check them regularly for swelling or smells, keep them dry and donโ€™t overcharge them.

Fire and Emergency New Zealand is warning about the dangers of lithium-ion batteries after video from a Canterbury home showed how quickly a battery failure can spark a serious fire.
