Question: are the lithium batteries used in these scooters/fire starters etc made differently from the ones used by campers and caravans or for the house?? Victorian fire authorities say they're responding to almost one lithium-ion battery fire every day.Commander Eckholdt said lithium-ion batteries were a growing concern for fire services, who are responding to almost one fire per day caused by lithium-ion batteries."What we are finding is that a lot of people are charging devices while they're asleep — phones, computers, scooters, that type of thing," he said.https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-04-18/lithium-battery-fire-phone-charger-students-building-carlton/103740394There is a difference between lithium ION and lithium IRON but this seems to get lost in most media crap. https://traction-direct.com/technical-corner/key-differences-between-lithium-ion-and-lithium-iron-batterieshttps://evergen.energy/batterytechnologydifferences/https://amsolar.com/rv-solar-news/rv-lithium-storage-guide/
Victorian fire authorities say they're responding to almost one lithium-ion battery fire every day. ...fire services, who are responding to almost one fire per day caused by lithium-ion batteries ... a lot of people are charging devices while they're asleep — phones, computers, scooters, that type of thing," he said.[/q ::)uote]Sorry, but population of Victoria is ~7 million, + tourists on top of that, so it's probably fair to say that there are at least 50 million lithium-ion "devices" in Victoria, with "most" of them being charged most days.& they're causing 1 fire a day Compared to how many candle, gas, fat, petrol, bush ... fires Please forgive me if I don't get too concerned!
