Man throws burning skateboard out front door after lithium-ion battery catches fire

[@ColtWadstein]

Back in my day, our skateboards didn't spontaneously combust unless we pulled off the sickest grind ever.

Omg….i love this! We need a Time Machine 😆

[@ColtWadstein]

@sari5045 I'm working on that, but every old guy in a DeLorean I've met so far has had other plans.

The advice we got from an insurance agent is that anytime something with a lithium ion battery is not in use, the battery needs to be removed and stored in a container designed to protect surroundings if the battery explodes. Cars with lithium ion batteries are suggested to be parked in the street in an area where nothing would be damaged if it burned.

Good to know, thank you.

Guy wants a replacement board after all that? Wtf

[@christinajones7696]

No way I would want another one. This has been happening with Electric Cars too. Catching fire in driveways and garages. Many Fire Departments are not equipped to put the fires out.

And parking lots

Same tech in EV cars....Tesla products have the same problem....reaffirms my convictions that this is not the way forward for sustainable motability.
