The Dangers of E-battery charging unsupervised can lead to fire and loss of life
What might look like an innocent toy car can destroy an entire house!
There have been many tragic instances of e-batteries catching fire and destroying homes, buildings, and lives. The charging of electronic devices (e-scooters, e-bicycles, e-toy cars, e-mobile phones, laptops, etc) should be supervised. Fires can also happen due to user behavior and improper charging practices, as well as faulty batteries and cheap chargers.

The toy e-car was plugged in and the mother suddenly saw flames after it ignited, gutting and destroying their home. She managed to grab her child and fled to safety, in good time. Had they not, they both would not have survived this horrifying event.
