Electric Scooter battery explosion

Sometimes, charging batteries at home doesn't end well.

The type of battery entering thermal runaway here is the type fitted to an electric scooter, many of these are cheaply made and would not meet the same standards of the ones produced by reputable manufacturers.

The risk of these entering circulation is heightened by the fact the industry is still vastly unregulated, we have now sadly seen numerous fire deaths in the UK whereby fires have been caused by this exact type of batter.

Also extremely important to note this is not smoke, it is a highly flammable, highly toxic and explosive vapour cloud made up of tens of different chemicals, some of which are carcinogenic.
