We always recommend using the original charger that comes with your e-bike or e-scooter. Listen to our product safety engineer, Giuseppe Capanna, explain to @LBC listeners how a charger that is incompatible with the battery's voltage can pose a serious fire risk.

[Electrical Safety First @ElecSafetyFirst]

Our product safety engineer, Giuseppe Capanna, was live on @BBCLondonNews to discuss the risks of using an incompatible charger. Using a charger with a voltage that is too high for the battery can cause overcharging and potentially result in an explosive fire.

🔋 💥 Watch this test simulating an overcharged lithium-ion battery. Battery fires are real hazards, and lives are at risk. Our #BatteryBreakdown report explores the dangers of overcharging your e-bike or e-scooter batteries: https://t.co/s4LbsV2L0S

[Electrical Safety First @ElecSafetyFirst]

Our #BatteryBreakdown campaign concerns the devastating impact of e-bike and e-scooter fires on consumer safety. We've produced a safety guide animation to help e-bike and e-scooter users stay safe whilst using these devices: https://t.co/q3gJucLDEu

👇In the context of the delayed Product Safety Review, the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Bill is a missed opportunity to protect consumers shopping on online marketplaces.

🛍Consumers deserve equal protections regardless of where they shop.

[Seema Malhotra MP @SeemaMalhotra1]

Today we start line by line scrutiny in Bill Committee of the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Bill which will continue every Tues and Thurs for the next 5 weeks. Great to be on the committee with the brilliant @AlexDaviesJones @coyleneil Peter Dowd & Mary Kelly Foy MP

[Electrical Safety First @ElecSafetyFirst]

Today, we are reminded of the devastating impact an electrical fire can have as we remember the 72 lives lost in Grenfell. Everyone should be safe in their home, regardless of tenure type.
