I lived in China in 2017. My favourite student bought a little electronic car. It was little more than a glorified golf cart. It cost her 7000 rmb, about a months salary. She loved that little car. It had twice the range of the old ebike she had and could drive from Huishan to Binhu and back in a single charge. She drove it like a tank, even though it was just fibreglass and plastic. One day the local government showed up and loaded her car on a flatbed, with all the other similar cars and just stole it. The police decided they were illegal, confiscated it and left. No paperwork, no process just I have a badge and I’m taking your stuff. She went back to riding her old ebike which was unsafe. For her birthday I bought her a brand new ebike, about 4000rmb IIRC the only condition I had was that she could not use her old bike, as in “don’t give it to your son to use”. I don’t think people understand China. There is no regulations, that you can’t buy your way around. There is no due process, the law is whatever the police decide to enforce. The only saving grace is they generally are only concerned with harmony. Not safety, not legality.. just harmony and face.

As a swede, my father used to repair cars and tought me alot about everything about how cars worked, including their batteries. It's only thanks to him that I learned how to switch battery myself and switch wheels. Obviously car batteries are not as explosive as lithium batteries, but they can still be explosive and very dangerous if not handeled properly. Car batteries are especially sensitive to short circuit. If you accidentally mistaken plus for minus or there is a malconfiguration in the cars circuit, these batteries can very much blow up right in your face. Instead of catching fire, expect to be sprayed with battery acid, which in car batteries are some of the strongest acids. The range of such a battery explosion can reach up to 10 meters and within that range you may expect to get corrosion damage from raining acid. Lithium batteries are obviously way more dangerous. Tbh I would probably rather build my own electric bike where I mount the battery as far away from the saddle as possible and mount a shield in between, so that if the battery would ever explode, I at least have some protection against fire damage. It's more likely to catch fire probably, but with that extra protection I am also less likely to take damage from it.

I recognized that shop right away. They were found to be "refurbishing" batteries. It's a thing here now. The city passed a law against tampering with them last March. Some appear to be sold as new. There have been other fatal e-bike fires here in the past couple of years.The FDNY is "cracking down" on shops like this, but crackdowns have a way of failing. I won't hold my breath

My foreman thought he was saving money with replacing the Makita 9.6v $50 Ni-Cad batteries we used to use in drills and drivers- with another brand that was $29. I unpacked them and noticed immediately they felt like they weighed HALF what the Makita brand batteries did, they also had absolutely NO identification at all on them! just a plain black plastic case. They lasted about half as long as the real Makita batteries did- charge and lifespan.

More word of advice more people die in a lift than a lift with an ebike in it this chap is a class act wanker.

I work for a company in China that sell and produce e-bikes worldwide. However we only use high quality battery cells, either branded Samsung or LG. Our customers often complain about the price of the batteries. Which then leads some of them to seek out cheaper alternatives. We try to tell people of the dangers, but saving £200 or more on a battery seems to be their priority. Thankfully I've not heard of a single fire from our batteries, but if the user somehow damages the battery, then it has a much greater risk of catching fire. To be honest I find that around 80% of people that buy E-Bikes have no idea about how to care for their bike, let alone want to learn of have an understanding of the electrics, and I feel this is the greater problem.

Im actually an Industrial Quality Analyst by trade, I love these videos and studying what's going on in China. I cannot find one single example of an authoritarian state that doesn't have a problem with quality. It's ultimately more like a religious problem than an economic or political problem. What I mean is when the state is treated like some kind of god on earth, people stop caring and do the bare minimum, serving others is not a priority in the slightest. They define quality as conformance to specifications, and they cheat and take shortcuts to achieve those specifications, which get warped and altered as well. While in Japan for example, quality is defined as how well something serves and increases the well-being of the customer or recipient.

Personally it is really sad seeing these videos since I have an Ebike myself and it hurts to see that these expensive devices are really exploding.

I fly radio-controlled models. They use Li-Ion batteries as well. I have a specialized box (BatSafe) in which I store and charge the batteries, and I use a smart charger at 1x charging speed. Takes more time but is much safer. Also, never discharge these batteries all the way; if you have to store them long term, it is best done at 50 % capacity.

Thanks for informing us

All it takes is a speck of conductive dust to pierce the micron-thin separator in these batteries. Once that happens, the positive and negative electrodes weld themselves together, and the cell shorts. Current from other cells in the pack also rushes into the failed cell.

Did they do that again? Or did they never stop? At least 300,000 Chinese babies were permanently damage by milk producers putting the stuff used to make melamine dishes in baby formula. And in grain they sold overseas. That got into our pet food and some of our food products. Since then they have people in other countries, especially Australia, who make big money buy up all the non-Chinese brands of baby formula they can get their hands on and selling it in China. Australian moms found they often couldn’t get formula. The government put limits on how many containers that could be bought at one time. That didn’t work at all. I do not know if Australia came up with something that worked. Oh, those “people” also buy branded goods in small enough quantities to ship and avoid tariffs. They also bought up lots of masks and hand sanitizer at the beginning of Covid. Lots. There is a word they call these people, but I forget.

The problem with current lithium-based batteries is that of thermal runaway especially if poorly designed. Thermal runaway means the burning batteries produce their own oxygen meaning you can't put them out with water. You basically have to let them burn or submerge them in a tub of water (it can take days before they are safe to be taken back out). That said, Dutch authorities are now trialing a fire suppression protocol which involves highly concentrated salt water brine with a novel delivery system to both cool the battery and also rapidly drain it which will prevent self-reignition of the battery. It has so far been proven quite effective.

I think the most common issue with these would be that they are adding a circuit that allows for "super fast charging", but they are not adding anything to counteract the heat that comes with that "super fast charging". Lithium Ion batteries can get really hot. Especially the ones they would have used in scooters (higher amperage ones). The batteries get damaged over time from the lack of thermal protection, and then one day they go boom. They might appear to work fine at first, but eventually, without proper thermal protection, its not gonna be good.

In Australia, we have over 150,000 electric cars. Many of them are Chinese. How many have caught fire under operating conditions? Six. None related to charging. One arson, three in houses that caught fire and the car was in the garage. One hit a tree at 160 km/hr and one, travelling at 110 km/hr, ran over the tailshaft that had fallen off a truck.

Even the best quality cells can start a fire. It only takes one bad cell to lose capacity and then get too hot charging or discharging. To make it worse, almost all chargers do not balance the cells at all, never mind bringing the pack down to storage voltage when not in use.

A few christmases ago, the top selling kids toy were “hoverboards”, the two wheeled skateboard but sideways contraptions that caused so many show-off adults to turn up at hospital with head and back injuries between christmas and the new year. These all had lithium batteries, and the social media channels were full of videos of kids screaming and running away from the two-wheeled inferno they had just been standing on.

Li Ion batteries can explode if overcharged. Back in the 90s when they first started being used in phones the chargers had to be designed so as not to overcharge the phone, this was a safety critical part of the design. It wasn't long before Li Ion batteries started being manufactured with their own in built protection so the charging algorithm wasn't as critical. I suspect these fires are being caused by cheap batteries that have no overcharging protection.

In India, batteries and control units that were imported from China are causing havocs in EV Scooter markets. So much so that most of the companies that use those batteries are mostly cease to exist. There are quite a few reputed brands (Ather, TVS etc) which are still going strong, but their sales went down, even after being very reliable.

I'm a little bit nervous about these inexpensive "Portable Power Stations"/ so-called "Solar Generators" which contain Lithium batteries. About half of the ones I own are not the safe LifePo4 battery chemistry. They are Lithium NMC (which is still pretty safe). But all it takes is one little short circuit or something in a single battery cell and it results in an uncontained volatile fire. They are ALL made in China, by Chinese companies (and mostly in the Guangdong Province region). While I know they are safer than e-Bike Batteries, I still worry my house will burn down.

As a remote UAV pilot I know these batteries are very dangerous. I had an incident where a small 3.7v 2000 mA battery spontaneously ignited while charging. It burst into flames on the tailgate of my Tahoe. Burned the carpet and was hard to put out. If I'd have been in the house, asleep or not home it could have been catastrophic.

With reactive metals like lithium, sodium, magnesium, titanium, once they are on fire water or CO2 are dissociated by the intense 5000F heat. In the case of water that means more oxygen available to oxidize the metal fuel and hydrogen liberated to react with surrounding air and explode. The only way water works is if you can dump so much of it on a small fire that it immediately cools everything below the ignition temperature…basically quench the flames. Hence, the best route is to smother the fire with an inert substance such as salt (NaCl), sand, or from special MetalX type extinguishers.
