A battery fire is often signaled by strong heat development and subsequent smoke formation.
- Act early: A smoke detector near the battery can provide an early warning.
- Act quickly: If possible, take the battery outside to avoid damage to surrounding objects. The VLITEX battery bag keeps the battery cool from the outside and makes transportation easier.
- Permanently installed batteries: For bicycles with permanently installed batteries, a VLITEX fire blankethelps to contain flames and smoke.
Important: Battery fires release toxic fumes. Move away from the source of the fire quickly and call the fire department on 112.
