Lithium-ion batteries power everything from smartphones and laptops to e-bikes and micro-mobility devices. However, despite their widespread use, many consumers remain unaware of the potential risks that these batteries can pose.
Consumer products like laptops and micro-mobility devices account for the largest share of these incidents. These batteries carry risks such as overheating and thermal runaway, which can lead to fires or explosions. To ensure safer use, heightened consumer awareness and stricter safety standards are essential.
