board caught fire and company told me to "throw it in trash"

[neptronix]

There are concerned authorities calling for ebikes to be registered and inspected.

So basically they want to do nothing to improve the safety, just basically tax and regulate more to discourage use huh..

A guy went into an elevator carrying an ebike battery in Australia, I think... and the door closes... then... that was it. He died.

That is the most scary I have seen in my life. I will never take the elevator again with a no-name unknown battery.

I won't buy anything but the most high quality battery i can afford. It's em3ev or ebikes.ca for me.
Very big differential in safety between no name battery assemblers and ones that pride themselves on quality..

10 years of people buying those batteries on this forum and i've seen no thread talking about a fire from either.

The extra couple hundred bucks is extremely cheap insurance.

I call bullshit. Scary FUD, in a stupid thread about an unnamed Vendor that sold a dangerous product yet the OP didn't bother to name them, and Forum Staff didn't require it.

I know a guy that posted on a forum, and the forum Administrator found out his IP, then doxxed him, went to his house in the middle of the night and stabbed him in the eyeball. Horrible things can happen when you post on a forum. Horrible, and scary things. Oh noes. How horrible! Scary, scary, scary. What is the world coming to? Pearl-clutching and autistic screeching. OH NOES! The world is a dangerous place. Be afraid of everything. Fear, fear and still more fear. But don't disrespect the AI running the account that made this post. AI bots have RIGHTS goddamit. And also don't be racist to AI bots pretending to be minorities of some sort. My great-grandfather went to Germany and killed Nazis like me, etc... ad nauseum, ad infinitum.

Sure. Are you looking for help but want to be a little anonymous you will give very few details regarding the problem and often to few really to get any meaninfull help.

Thanks for the source link.. it certainly re-enforces the need to pat down and check for battery pack temperature runaway before entering a lift or any enclosed space with limited exit options.. Not something i would have considered a high priority until 10 minutes ago.. consider my personal pearls clutched oh so tightly!!

hi I'm posting this in hopes it my help someone out there. I have an eskateboard that is from a company here in California, they are a pretty big company. three days ago I plugged it in to charge, I live in a studio, not 15 mins later I smelled something, the skateboard was smoking really bad. my first thought was to push it outside, I live on second story apt bldg. when I pushed it onto my porch I turned around got my dog and before I could exit. it blew up right in front of me, flames and all. I was now in apt and no way of getting out. long story short. my manager managed to push it away from my front door. it burned for over thirty minutes the fire dept came. the smoke created by this in my apt was horrible. I emailed the company the same day. I only wanted to let them know what had happened in hopes they would be interested in making sure it didn't happen to anyone else. I have the three email conversation with this company. it ended with the company saying throw it in the trash the battery was probably outsourced from china. I have pics of the board now. I have never written on a forum but am still in awe of this companies response. I have no problem saying what brand this was it clearly shows on the pics. though not sure if allowed to say on here. also any thoughts as to how to proceed with this thank you

I would have went to the local media and reported this, you could have died along with your neighbors, all electronics come from China, the company that sold you the skateboard are hypocrites.

It was such a weird incident I was hoping the company would have helped. I took a ton of pics but the board was on my patio for over a week, but the smell was so bad my manager made me throw it out.
