Description
If you're watching this because you own an electric scooter, an e-bike, or anything else with a large rechargeable battery, please don't assume that because you've charged it a hundred times before, the next charge is guaranteed to be uneventful.
Stay nearby while it's charging. Don't charge it while you're asleep. Keep it away from escape routes and things that can burn, and charge large devices outside where practical.
Use the correct charger and charging equipment.
And if a battery becomes unusually hot, changes shape, smells strange, leaks, smokes, or starts making popping or hissing noises, stop using it.
Most importantly, don't convince yourself that experience makes you immune.
I thought I understood the risks.
This happened anyway.
Please come and visit me on Patreon. I'd love to build another one with more power and more safety (if that's possible). https://www.patreon.com/vortecks
