Put out the fire after 5 minutes
Fortunately, there were no casualties
According to the owner of the house

At present, negotiations are being made with neighbors for compensation
Recently
Uncle Lan modified from batteries and vehicles
Flying wire charging and other aspects have been repeatedly emphasized with everyone
Safety issues for e-bikes
Do you think that's all there is to it?
No, Uncle Lan will introduce one more to you today
Places that are easily overlooked
charger
When everyone buys a branded electric bike
The original charger will be delivered with the vehicle
Once the original charger is damaged or lost
Many people will choose to match a charger at random
This is where the safety hazard may be laid
Mr. Wang from Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province, August 2022
Spent 15 yuan to buy it online
A certain brand of electric bicycle charger
But in the process of charging
He found that not only was it hot but also bulging
I have returned and exchanged it once and found that this is still the case
Mr. Wang felt that he might have bought a fake
Plus he's been in the news before
I have seen fire accidents caused by charging
Realized the seriousness of the matter
So I chose to call the police
After receiving the police, the police first contacted the manufacturer of the electric bicycle
The charger purchased by Mr. Wang online was identified
The manufacturer determined that the merchant was not an authorized store for them
The chargers sold are also counterfeit and shoddy products
As a result, the police registered information through the online store
The person in charge of the online store, Li, was arrested
According to Li's confession
These chargers that he sells online
All by recycling old chargers
After secondary assembly, refurbishment, and OEM
Sell at three to five times the recycling price
As of the time of the case, Li and other suspects
Counterfeit chargers manufactured and sold
More than 30,000 units have been sold online
The profit is more than 40 yuan
At present, the Yizheng City Procuratorate of Yangzhou, Jiangsu
Li and other persons involved in the case were charged with the crime of counterfeiting registered trademarks
If an indictment is initiated, the court will announce the verdict at a later date
What are the dangers of counterfeit and shoddy chargers?
More than 30,000 pieces...
What a staggering number
Blatant production and sale of counterfeits
Where do you put the lives of the public?
If you use a counterfeit charger
What are the consequences?
Firefighters will be qualified chargers
and the counterfeit and shoddy chargers that were found were energized separately
Test the voltage condition in the charging port
After connecting the power supply, the charger meets the national standard
It is voltage-free when the battery is not connected
But the voltage of the inferior charger reaches 55.1 volts
The user is at risk of electric shock
Subsequently, the firefighters used the seized charger
Charge newly purchased compliant EV batteries
After 7 hours of continuous charging
There was a strong smell of rubber in the house
The battery has been significantly deformed
△ The battery is significantly deformed
△ The battery temperature has increased significantly
The inferior charger in the experiment lacked overvoltage protection
After the battery is close to being fully charged
Safe trickle charging is not possible
It is still charged at the original high voltage
And the battery is overcharged
There will be a risk of fire and explosion
Different brands of electric bikes
All have matching chargers
If mixed it will not only damage the battery
It is also easy to cause spontaneous combustion
Please use a qualified original charger for charging
Do not overcharge for a long time
Don't fly to charge or charge at home
