The Danger of Parking Lithium powered Mowers, Bikes ect in the garage or house. Examples of other smaller devices as well and their dangerous surprises.
Most older people that dont worry about it are thinking that their ole gas powered mower will take them through the change for the rest of their lives so why bother. The others that except and defend it are justifying their mistakes. By acknowledging and being aware of the dangers, my grandchildren and great grandchildren will be watching their grandchildren's burnt homes on the evening news.The "awareness" is more of a scare tactic. Use proper batteries and chargers and they will not catch fire.
I've had lithium batteries parked in my garage for over 18 years now (4 different Prius, 1 Hybrid Civic, 1 Hybrid Lexus). Not to mention the power tools that have lithium. Oh yeah, there are three batteries sitting on my desk I just charged for airsoft rifle.
Difference between what I have and what is catching fire in New York, is mine are UL approved.
