I have seen it first hand. 50k of damage to a bucket truck.
Lithium ion batteries catching fire

- Start date
I had a mower that caught on fire, twice and still ran for another 4 or 5 years.
It was one of those all metal Briggs and Strattons from like the 1990s.

I think the eBike like to catch on fire because of the way they are often used. Ridden enough to get the battery hot, then when you get home, you immediately put it on a charger. A more sensible thermal management routine would be to not put the bike on a charger for several hours after riding.
Combine that was sketchy 3rd world battery knock offs and scary betwixt the legs.
"Firefighters were able to cut through the security gate behind the front door and extinguish the fire.
Pablo told 7News he was walking behind the bike shop and heard a loud explosion."
Money quote
"Pablo said the explosion happened 30 minutes after the bike shop had closed for the day. He believes the explosion might have come from the bike batteries inside of the shop."
That guy again!
Pablo is Florida Man!!! Mind blown, but that explains sooo much.
Those ICE Samsung phones man. They're just as dangerous with the same statistical rate!!!Sitting tight and grabbingthe ICE fire statistics are on the way.
Who would've thought filling a phone with gasoline would be a fire risk
Yet baby lithium batteries scare plane companies. https://www.faa.gov/newsroom/lithium-batteries-baggage
And shipping companies require lithium items to be marked so.
The 12V system is more of a danger than the tank itself. Very, very hard to get a spark and fumes(liquid gas does not ignite) at the gas tank itself.
Yeah we all have seen it and been warned. Maybe will never happen and maybe it will. Being warned and sweeping it under the rug !
Just like being warned not to eat some poison plant in your yard, are you going to do it?
Info from fire rebuild contractor.
A man stepped off into pool with 50 ish volt blower. He took battery off & just laid on shelf in storage room.
Few days later explosion. Blew out 6’ metal garage door. If someone had been other side closed door they would be full of shrapnel.
Also move bottom of wall by door 18”
& fire damage.
