A little reminder never hurts before the holidays! In any case, this is what the media must say to themselves since it is reported a few days before Christmas, two new explosions of “e-cigarettes” or rather of batteries in England and the United States.
DEGASING A BATTERY IN A LEEDS SHOPPING CENTER
While shopping in a shopping center in Leeds, England, a man saw his battery degassing in his pants pocket. On the spot, firefighters warned e-cigarette users. The explosion was caused by the contact of the battery with another metal object. Obviously, the video surveillance images shocked many people following the presence of a stroller near the accident.
IN CALIFORNIA, A BATTERY EXPLODED ON A BUS
It was in Fresno, California, that a 53-year-old man saw his e-cigarette installed in his pocket make sparks and violently explode causing an unexpected scene for the other bus passengers. The owner of the shop Satyr Vapor in Fresno, Adam Wooddy, saw the video and for him it comes once again from the drums the batteries have a protective envelope, if it tears it makes the battery very unstable and it becomes a real time bomb. »
NO, THE E-CIGARETTE IS NOT RESPONSIBLE!
As with 99% of battery explosions, it is not the e-cigarette that is responsible but the user.
The e-cigarette clearly has no place on the dock in this case, we can never repeat it enough, with the accusers certain safety rules must be respected for safe use :
- Never put one or more batteries in your pockets (presence of keys, parts that can short-circuit)
- Always store or transport your batteries in boxes keeping them separate from each other
If you have a doubt, or if you are not familiar with it, consider inquiring before buying, using or storing batteries. here is a complete tutorial dedicated to Li-Ion batteries which will help you to see more clearly.
IN FRANCE, PROFESSIONALS HAVE TAKEN SAFETY MEASURES!
A few days ago, the first Tpd Ready batteries were presented. The result of collaborative work between many professionals and supported by Fivape, these batteries contain all the necessary warnings in French as well as in English. With each battery, protection is provided, inviting the user to take no risk. We cannot say that everything is not done to avoid battery explosions, in any case the professionals have mobilized.
