Lithium-ion batteries are now found in everyday homes—powering e-scooters, e-bikes, and other devices—but they bring serious fire risks if not managed properly. This practical session will explain how lithium-ion battery fires ignite and spread through thermal runaway, with real-world examples of common causes. We will share strategies for educating residents on safe storage and charging practices and establishing effective building policies, and preparing for forthcoming regulation. Attendees will leave with actionable steps to reduce risks, protect residents, and build safer homes.
