Why electric bikes can easily cause fires
The batteries of electric bikes are mainly divided into lithium batteries and lead-acid batteries. A common electric bikes fire is caused by a violent chemical reaction caused by overcharging or short circuiting of the lithium battery. Charging for too long can cause the battery to heat up, bulge, or even cause the battery to explode.
Overcharging mainly occurs during the charging process of the battery. Due to the resistance of the battery, a large amount of heat will be accumulated during the charging process. When the overcharging time is long, a short circuit will occur inside the battery, resulting in a fire and explosion. However, short circuits may also occur during driving of electric bikes. For example, high temperature weather causes the battery temperature to be too high, and the battery separator film is damaged, causing a short circuit and explosion.
