“Safety measures, such as never leaving an #ebike charging unattended, can help reduce the likelihood of a fire, injuries or death if the batteries do ignite, officials said….Most battery fires are in unregulated or aftermarket products that will often be more likely to catch fire than the certified ones...Extension cords have been linked to battery fires, so always plug in your battery charger directly into an outlet.” https://www.kqed.org/news/12078862/fire-bike-officials-urge-caution-after-e-bike-fire-death-in-san-jose

“#Bosch was the first e-bike brand to ensure that all its batteries, motor systems, and chargers are compliant with UL 2849, a rigorous international e-bike safety standard. Safety testing is essential because while e-bike batteries can be made safe, accidents involving lower-quality batteries can be pretty scary.” https://store.ternbicycles.com/blogs/articles/why-we-use-bosch-e-bike-systems
