Managing Lithium-ion Battery Safety in Homes
Lithium-ion batteries are now found in everyday homes - powering e-scooters, e-bikes, and other devices - but they bring serious fire risks if not managed properly. This practical session will explain how lithium-ion battery fires ignite, including issues related to the use of conversion kits and how fire can spread through thermal runaway, with real-world examples of common causes. We will share strategies for educating residents on safe storage and charging practices and establishing effective building policies and preparing for forthcoming regulation. Attendees will leave with actionable steps to reduce risks, protect residents, and build safer homes.
