We unplug our phones from the charger at the start of the day, put our laptops in our bags on the way to work, and use electric scooters more and more for urban transportation every day. At the heart of these technologies that make our lives easier are Lithium-ion batteries. But how safe are these devices that we carry with us at all times or keep in a corner of our house?

Invisible Danger: Chain Heat Reaction

Lithium-ion batteries pack a huge amount of energy into a small volume. These batteries, which are quite safe under normal conditions, enter an unstoppable chain heat reaction in which the cells trigger each other when they are subjected to impact or overheating. When this starts, the battery can reach thousands of degrees in seconds, essentially feeding its own fire.

3 Basic Habits That Create Risk in Your Home

• Leaving it on Charge Overnight: Charging phones or laptops while you sleep eliminates your chance to intervene in case of overheating.
• Wrong Charging Equipment: "Cheaply priced" Non-original cables and adapters purchased under the guise of being genuine can increase the risk of fire by 80% by sending irregular current to the battery.
• Use on Soft Surfaces: Using laptops on beds or pillows cuts off airflow, causing the battery to overheat.

Standard Extinguishers Are Insufficient!

Many people think that standard powder or water-based fire extinguishers in their homes can stop any fire. However, lithium fires are different. Because it is a chemical reaction, even if you cut off the oxygen coming from the outside, the battery will continue to burn from the inside. Although standard extinguishers temporarily suppress the flame, the battery will reignite after a while.

Solution: Envoy Fire Technology

Representing a new era in home safety, Envoy Fire is specifically developed for lithium-ion fires.

• Fast Cooling: Reduces the heat at the center of the fire in seconds.
• Reignition Prevention: Creates a barrier between the battery cells, preventing the fire from spreading and restarting.
• Environmentally Friendly: Safe for use in a home environment.

A Small Step to Protect Your Home

We can't give up on technology, but we can manage the risks.

Not charging your scooter in the hallway (in a way that blocks the exit door), immediately recycling swollen batteries, and having an approved Envoy EX series lithium battery extinguisher in your home are vital for your family's safety.
