Caution for Lithium batteries
Hi Neighbours. I'm wanting to post a message on the dangers of having lithium batteries, especially in cars, bikes, scooters. There have been many fires throughout NZ that have a NO-warning combustion fire that is extremely intense, fast and wild.
My neighbour had their house burnt down in the early hours 2 years ago because of a E-bike in the garage. There was also an expensive car, bbq, and gas tank in the garage. The saving grace was there was a fire alarm in the garage, the concrete base was lined with 1.5 hour fire gib board and a fire proof internal door. This allowed the family to escape. The garage door was blasted out and twisted, the car was a blacken metal frame by the ferocity of the fire.
Co-incidentally the FENZ had education talks at St Thomas School a couple of weeks before.
How safe is the second hand E-V, hybrid car, bike, scooter that you have got, or are giving for Xmas? Have these items had their batteries checked for damage, have they been in a crash?
Are the battery cells in good condition?
There has been very little media news, details, education to these fires, so this allows the public into thinking there is not a huge problem.
How much information in the news is given to cars that just combust by itself?
The Fire Service can recognise a lithium battery fire and put them out with specialised products. I I don't know if normal fire hydrants can put these fires out.

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?
The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.
Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

Feeling overwhelmed?
Hi Neighbours - If you feel like you can easily get swamped or snowed under, that is something Mindfulness can help with. My clients report that practicing mindfulness helps them feel they can cope better with stressful situations, feeling less overwhelmed.
Mindfulness trains us to paying attention to the present moment, which creates space to observe your thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them.
