I’m a full time electric wheelchair user but my battery is a Gell Cell, not all mobility scooters or electric wheelchairs have lithium batteries.
on a serious question how can a battery just explode?
Does anyone know the exact true story to what happened here?
if you want to ban mobility scooters and electric wheelchairs firstly that’s discrimination and second your have to ban all batteries including, mobile phones, cameras, speakers, iPads, laptops, etc…..
has it been confirmed it was a lithium battery? I’m asking as usually when a lithium battery catches fire they produce a lot of heat, bright white light and very dramatic. I’ve only seen one picture of this battery in question on the ground with a staff member putting it out with a fire extinguisher, which doesn’t look like a usual lithium battery fire.
