Are you paying attention to the “lithium battery” in your electric motorcycle?

(FWA 2026/03/16)Recently, Taiwan saw its first-ever lithium battery fire at an “electric motorcycle battery swapping station.”

If a lithium battery is overcharged, short-circuited, or damaged, it can cause a fire.

7 key points for safe use

•Purchase a product with a “safety certification stamp”

•Use the product in accordance with instructions

•Avoid recharging in high temperatures or direct sunlight

•Once fully charged remove from the power source to avoid overcharging

•Do not over discharge the battery

•Do not strike, drop, or impact the battery

•Ensure the positive/negative poles of the battery do not come into contact with metallic objects

If a battery shows indications of abnormal swelling, deformation or damage, stop using it immediately and replace it. In the event of a lithium battery fire, use water to lower the temperature until the reaction stops and the fire goes out

電動機車「鋰電池」您注意了嗎？

近期發生全臺首起「電動機車電池交換站」鋰電池起火案件

鋰電池一旦過充、短路、受損就可能引發火災

安全使用7重點

•選購具「商品安全標章」產品

•依說明書正確使用

•避免在高溫、陽光直射下充電

•充飽即拔除電源避免過充

•不過度放電

•禁止敲打、摔落、撞擊

•避免金屬物品接觸電池兩極

若電池異常膨脹、變形、破損，請立即停止使用並更換

鋰電池起火需持續以水降溫，直到反應停止才會熄滅
