Watch this impressive video by the Fire Safety Research Institute, exploring some seriously violent batteries in thermal runaway. The #holidays of 2024 are swiftly approaching, and it is always #smart to think of #battery #safety in our everyday lives, bravo to the team at FSRI for the testing and reminder! #toothbrush #shaver #lawnmower #powertool #batteries #fire #thermalrunaway #explode #home #school #batterypowered #tech #ev #vape #micromobility #ebike #recycle #safetyeducation?
Take C.H.A.R.G.E. of Battery Safety ahead of the upcoming holiday shopping season. Lithium-ion batteries have many positives, but because they're storing more energy, there are also some risks. If they're misused, mistreated or damaged, they can enter thermal runaway and cause fires. 40% of Americans are not aware of the thermal runaway risk associated with lithium-ion batteries (UL Standards & Engagement, 2024). This awareness gap can lead to tragic outcomes if safe practices are not followed. Help close that gap with our latest resources now available on https://lnkd.in/efmgQCNZ. Comment below on how you and or your organization will spread the word this season. #LithiumIonBatteries #BatteryFireSafety #HolidayFireSafety Saadia Baloch Adam Barowy Dawn Landers Ey Daniel Madrzykowski Amanda Srsic, MPH Nicole Sanders-Abbott, CSM Jennifer Williams
