Throwback to Brighton, Wisconsin. A lithium-ion battery — plugged in to charge a 6-foot drone — turned a family’s home into a pile of rubble.

No people were hurt, but sadly, multiple pets didn’t make it out.

100,000+ gallons of water were used in a desperate attempt to stop the flames.

The fire chief confirmed: lithium-ion batteries were the cause.

This isn’t so rare anymore.

As homes, hobbies, and tools become increasingly battery-powered, so does the risk. One overcharged cell… one faulty charger… one moment of inattention… and everything can be gone.

We talk about these fires on airplanes, in EVs, in warehouses, but residential fires are rising fast, and most people have no idea the danger that may be sitting quietly on their garage workbench.

It doesn’t have to be this way.

Safe charging practices and fire-tested storage solutions exist—and the time to use them is before a fire starts.

Whether it’s a drone, an e-bike, a lawn tool, or a power bank:

If you charge it, store it, or ship it… protect it.

During a past demo of fire containment systems in Atlanta, we put our CellBlock High Heat Gloves to the test — literally.
A torch burning at nearly 2000 degrees Fahrenheit was no match.

Unlike bulky alternatives, our gloves allow for finger movement and real-world dexterity — because when you're dealing with lithium battery fires, tactile control matters.

Whether you're deploying a LIBIK kit or transferring a compromised device into a fire containment cabinet, you need gear that protects without slowing you down.

When seconds count, we give you the edge.

CellBlock High Heat Gloves provide additional protection against intense heat.* Made from composite textiles to withstand high temperatures, and designed to ...

Every golf cart, lost. Golf Club devastated.
At Copper Cove Golf Club, a fire ripped through a golf cart barn and pool facilities early, just one week before Memorial Day weekend.

It’s devastating — not just because of the damage, but because of who it impacts:Team members who rely on summer income, families who planned to spend sunny days at the pool, and players who call Copper Cove home.

The Franklin County Fire Marshal's Office has concluded its investigation into the fire May 16.

BATTERY FIRES AREN’T THE FUTURE. THEY’RE ALREADY HERE.
From e-bikes to power tools, lithium-ion batteries are everywhere — and so are the risks they bring when discarded or damaged.

Fires sparked by lithium batteries are fast, fierce, and frighteningly common in the waste industry. Traditional fire systems just aren’t built for this.
Now, there’s a game-changer, preferred by the safest HAZMAT teams on earth.

Introducing Ecobatt Safety – a bold new division of the Ecocycle Group – and the exclusive distributor of CellBlock Fire Containment Systems across Australia and New Zealand.

CellBlock’s patented fire suppression tech doesn’t just fight battery fires — it smothers them.
→ Oxygen-blocking.
→ Heat-absorbing.
→ Gas-neutralising.
→ Environmentally-friendly, mineral-based extinguishing agent
→ Designed for real-world battery disasters.

Think:
Battery fire incident kits
Safe-charge sleeves for e-bikes and tools
UN-compliant shipping containers
Fire blankets that withstand the extreme

From waste facilities to councils, universities, retailers, and transport companies – this is safety that works.

Let’s stop treating lithium battery fires like a fluke. They’re a growing threat — and now we have a smarter way to fight them.

Ecobatt Safety + CellBlock = a safer future, now.

E-Scooters: The Hidden Fire Risk in Our Homes

They’re fast, fun, and eco-friendly. But are they safe?
A new study from leading fire safety researchers has put numbers to what many first responders already fear: an overcharging lithium-ion battery in an e-scooter can turn your home into an inferno in minutes.

Researchers from NIST and partners simulated thermal runaway scenarios in common home layouts, both bedrooms and living rooms, and the findings were alarming:

The heat release rate of a thermal event was not just dangerous—it was catastrophic.

Confined spaces like bedrooms became deadly environments within minutes.

The fire hazard increases exponentially when the battery is installed in the full device.

If you or your kids plug in an e-scooter in a closed room overnight, you might be risking more than just a battery replacement—you’re risking lives.

We need more consumer education, safer charging protocols, and stronger fire safety standards for micromobility devices.
E-scooters are not just fun tech, they’re fire hazards when misused.

Never charge overnight.
Never charge in closed or unventilated rooms.
Buy devices with verified safety certifications.
Treat lithium-ion batteries with the same caution you’d treat a fuel tank.

Let’s make safety go viral.

Over the last 20 or so years, lithium-ion battery (LiB) powered devices have infiltrated our day to day lives through the devices that rely on them for energy storage including phones, cordless tools, toys, wristwatches, and vehicles. With the meteoric rise in popularity of LiBs in society, failures...

BATTERY SAFETY ISN’T OPTIONAL. IT’S MISSION-CRITICAL.
What’s your real battery need? Storage? Recycling? Damaged cells?

In a recent video by CeSAT, CellBlock CTO Dylan Francis breaks down the critical path customers follow when choosing the RIGHT battery safety solutions—and why guesswork isn’t good enough in 2025.

✅ Dimensions
✅ Energy Density
✅ Battery Chemistry

➡️ These are the specs that determine what ECR [Energy Containment Rating] is best for you, or how much risk you’re really holding—and how much protection you really need. When batteries fail, it’s already too late to wonder if your gear was tested “beyond compliance.”

At CellBlock FCS, we engineer for the worst day—so you can trust us every day.

Big thanks to The Clean Energy Safety and Training Council for helping us tool up for a safer, smarter battery future in 2025.

Watch now & power up with confidence.

In this quick but crucial discussion, and break down why “Cheap and the Best Don’t Mix” when it comes to lithium-ion batt...

New York City law has contributed to recent decline in deaths and injuries Battery fires have cost over $518.6 Million between 2019 and 2023 in NYC alone. E-mobility incidents surged by 800%, reaching 465 cases.

This prompted local government to take action, passing Local Law 39, prohibiting the sale, rental, lease, or distribution of e-mobility devices that do not comply with three ULSE safety standards: UL 2849 for e-bikes, UL 2272 for personal e-mobility devices, and UL 2271 for lithium-ion batteries.

Are more cities going to follow?

E-mobility has transformed urban transportation in New York City, but uncertified devices and inadequate public safety awareness have led to a sharp increase in e-mobility related battery fires. To further understand the implications of these fires, UL Standards & Engagement and Oxford Economics col...
