In a recent incident highlighting the risks of transporting electric car batteries, a man experienced a dangerous situation while attempting to take a battery to his home for charging. Unaware of the potential hazards, he placed the battery inside a building lift, which subsequently led to an unexpected explosion due to static electricity.The incident underscored the dangers associated with carrying such high-powered batteries in confined spaces like elevators. Static electricity buildup, especially within an enclosed lift, can interact with the batterys components, resulting in a sudden discharge or explosion. As electric vehicles become more prevalent, this serves as a crucial reminder for battery safety, especially when handling or transporting them in non-designated areas.Sensitive video 🥹🥹Just for awarenessइलेक्ट्रिक कार की बैटरी को चार्ज करने के लिए घर ले जा रहा था लेकिन उसे नहीं पता था कि अगर बैटरी को लिफ्ट में रखा गया, तो इससे static Electricity का विस्फोट हो जाएगाबैटरी को लिफ्ट में नहीं ले जाया जा सकता pic.twitter.com/YOJkoyfvMw— Rapunzel (@_DilS3Rahul_) November 13, 2024Safety advisory: Avoid using lifts for battery transportExperts advise against placing high-voltage electric car batteries in elevators or small spaces where static electricity can accumulate, potentially triggering a reaction.
