Understand your E-Bike Battery to Prevent Fires

Hello and welcome back to the Derand blog, your go-to source for all things e-bikes. In today's post, we're diving into a hot topic: e-bike battery fires. With recent headlines and buzz on social media, it's understandable that some of you might feel hesitant about embracing e-bikes. We're here to address those concerns head-on and separate fact from fiction. Let's clear the air and get into the real story behind e-bike battery safety.

Unpacking the Issue of Battery Safety
Let's get real about e-bike batteries. They don't just randomly catch fire. The main culprit? Sketchy sellers, like those on Alibaba or shady Amazon dealers. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Stick to local dealers with reputable brands to save yourself time, money, and the headache of dealing with insurance.

E-Bike Battery Tips
To prevent battery fire, it's recommended to follow best practices

• Don't push your e-bike beyond its limits (Over Voltage).
• Always use the charger that came with your e-bike.
• When not in use, store your battery in a cool, dry place
• Buy chargers and replacement batteries from your trusted dealer.
• If you accidentally damage your battery, reach out to your dealer for help.
