Simple mistake can cost your life: Man lost his life as electric car battery explodes in lift | VIDEO

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 battery's 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.
