In a tragic fire in Sanxia, New Taipei City, three people died with one suspecting the fire was caused by a lithium battery in a hedge trimmer that caught fire while charging. The homeowner reportedly tried to put out the fire with a blanket, unknowingly causing it to spread. Experts warn that uncertified lithium batteries can pose a significant risk, emphasizing the importance of using quality batteries to avoid fire hazards. The incident highlights the dangers of using cheap, unauthorized batteries in power tools, as the risk of fire greatly increases. Additionally, using multiple lithium batteries in series increases the likelihood of chain explosions in case of a fire.
