Lets hope so. My only direct experience was when a small Lithium Polymer exploded in a big fireball as I threw it out the door of my shed\workshop. The 'bit of warning' I had was less than 10 seconds.

The big jobie extinquisher in the shed is OK, or at least I assume it is, since its not so easy to test them, apart from checking the pressure gauge and keeping it within its service life. What perhaps some might not realise is how quickly Litihium batteries can go bad.

Maybe not. But it might be.

You dont have one ? Shocking. I have a 6kg one next to the door on my shed\workshop where all the battery charging happens. Its there since if a problem develops I can maybe escape, grab the extinguisher on the way out and blast the inside of the shed\workshop from the outside.

Excellant. The pale yellow\green background of the display and the solid black text is very indicative of a transflective \ reflective display, which is waht you need for outdoor use. It would be better for everyone if the cheap cr*p type displays used in some of these meters as shown below...

Yes another one that happened. A very serious omission is that there appears to be no information or detail given to the public about the cause of each of these 'incidents'. I suspect the Fire Brigade etc, do know, but they seem to just keep putting out generic advice. Is it dodgy chargers...

Absolutly, but there are lots and lots and lots people out there that do no appreciate where this so called 'tech' is going. There are those naive persons who do not percieve the approaching armagedon when you may need an 'up to date, secure, verified and paid for app' and Elon Musks approval...

I can see why battery manufacturers would choose a 4.2V cutoff, batteries may not last so long so you need to buy more of them. Are there BMSs out there that give you the choice, i.e. that would allow you to set the full charge point to say 4.1v per cell and have them balance at that voltage ?

So these batteries quote a +2000 cycle life when charged to 4.1V. Do they give a cycle life when charged to 4.2V ?

I suspect its not a mystery to those using Lithium batteries for electric car batteries. So there is a question, electric car batteries are seemingly designed for a long service life and may well be charged often. So what voltage do electric car batteries charge too and are there other...

Is it gluten free ?

Maybe you meant 15.5mph ?

Fountain pen ? Ikea give away small pencils that are ideal for weight weanies.

Well the limit is 25kmph, and that is the limit. However, its a bit like the speed limits in general. The so called 'guidance' the Police use for speed cameras adds a 10% + maybe 4mph allowance. But that does not make driving at 30.1mph legal. Dont know. I have been to midge central, the...

Whats 'a little more' ?

Nice. Do they do them curved to fit on downtubes etc ?

Your joking, shirley ? Would anyone would accept representation from a forum where advice on potentially illegal eBikes is so openly provided ? ha ha ha ha

So if you go into Halfords and buy a (real cheap) bicycle you can add a couple of wheels and a battery and you have a Tesla ? Is there an Indestrucable tutorial on how to do this ?

Indeed. After all they are only bicycles powered by batteries. What harm could there possibly be ?
