E-Bike Battery Fire in an Underground Parking
Underground Parking
In an underground parking facility, multiple e-bikes are parked overnight. These e-bikes have lithium-ion batteries that are left charging during the night. However, due to a malfunction in one of the batteries, it enters thermal runaway and catches fire.
The fire rapidly spreads to nearby e-bike batteries, creating a hazardous situation in the underground parking. The smoke and flames quickly fill the area, triggering the fire alarms.
Unfortunately, this underground parking facility lacks an advanced fire suppression system specifically designed to combat lithium-ion battery fires. As a result, the fire quickly intensifies, generating thick smoke and releasing toxic fumes throughout the area. As a result, all vehicles in the underground parking were lost, and the insurance does not cover the loss since no safety measures were installed to reduce such risks.
Challenge:
The challenge with e-bike battery fires in underground parking facilities is that a common extinguisher will not be effective in extinguishing the fire. When overnight charging is offered to bike holders, in most cases, there is no surveillance of the batteries during the charging process. This lack of surveillance can lead to potential risks and issues that may arise unnoticed. It is important to implement a system that monitors and ensures the safety of the batteries throughout the entire charging process. By doing so, both - the building owner & bike holders can have peace of mind knowing that their batteries are being properly taken care of and reducing the chances of any unexpected incidents occurring.
