A good advice is to always read and follow the safety instructions and instructions for use that come with the product. Use the charger recommended by the manufacturer.
The battery must be marked with the manufacturer, type number and have its own CE mark. Together, this gives an indication that the battery complies with all safety requirements and that it is safe to use.
Fireproof charging
Do not leave a battery that is charging and keep a good distance between the battery and other flammable materials. Check if the charger or battery becomes abnormally hot during charging. This may indicate that there is something wrong with your products. Feel free to have a smoke detector near the product you are charging.
Whole, clean and dry
Make sure that the battery does not fall on the ground when you take it off the bike, also be aware that the battery can be damaged by rough use. Batteries that are not charging can also catch fire. The reason is usually that the battery has been damaged. If you suspect that it is damaged, it is best to have the dealer take a check.
Do not charge the battery with dirt and moisture around the contacts, this may lead to short circuits, heat generation and fire. It is therefore smart to keep the area around the contacts clean and dry.
What do you do if there is a fire?
If a fire starts, remove the product from a flammable environment if possible. Unplug the charger from the wall outlet. A fire in the battery can be kept at bay by adding water to cool it down.
Many lithium batteries contain a flammable liquid that, when sufficiently heated, emits a flammable gas. The battery will therefore catch fire again if it is not cooled down.
If a fire occurs that you have no control over, you must call the fire service on 110.
