BATTERY FACTS
- Batteries that regularly undergo cycles of rapid discharge can, and do, catch fire at ANY time
- Leaving battery packs with a low state of charge for prolonged periods increases their risk of fire
- Lithium battery fires can burn in excess of 1000° C
- An estimated ~35% of battery fires occur while disconnected from a source of power
- Lithium fires do NOT need oxygen to burn, and can reignite after being extinguished
