Lithium batteries | Golf Monthly

I was shocked too. If I recall from something else they did, they’re a further standard that is directly assessed and an audit on manufacturing standards is performed. This is what main manufacturers sign up to but even then there’s always a small risk.

In the end of the day the stats of a fire are small and I’d say most of us leave all sorts of lithium batteries on charge from laptops to phones. I’m sure you’ll recall the cheap charger plug fires that weren’t made to standard a few years back.

On another note. I don’t know if you watch the beginning of that video but they mention the amount of bikes that are on Amazon that are not even U.K. legal! It just goes to show how far the standards have fallen behind the digital economy.
