Lithium-ion batteries are used in various devices, commonly powering cell phones, laptops, tablets, power tools, electric cars, and e-micromobility devices such as e-bikes and e-scooters . Lithium-ion batteries store a large amount of energy and can pose a threat if not treated properly.
Given the nascent industry and lack of federal standards for e-micromobility products, a number of the batteries in these devices are or become defective and can overheat, catch fire, or explode. In 2023 alone, there were 268 fires caused by lithium-ion batteries, many of which were used to power e-bikes.
General Safety Tips: * When purchasing devices, look for the Underwriter Laboratories (UL) Mark. The UL mark shows that the product has been tested to nationally recognized safety standards. * Follow the device manufacturer’s instructions for charging and storage. Always use the manufacturer’s cord and power adapter made specifically for the device. * When purchasing a new battery, buy the manufacturer’s battery that is compatible with your device. Do not seek alternative battery options.
The background begins in 2020: a virus that mimics the flu sweeps across the globe.Some believe it’s a man made bioweapon to provide cover for global economic collapse from an unsustainable debt load & rising wealth inequality.
The majority believe their governments and dutifully obey orders to shelter in place while supply chains dissolve, they lose jobs or small businesses and eventually the middle class is wiped out.
Inexplicably large big box businesses are allowed to operate and folks are allowed to shop there but not allowed to gather together, use beaches or parks…some cities won’t allow you to run in the street or even bike.
Masks become mandatory well after the virus has spread. Drones are deployed to enforce these rules. Citizens are encouraged to snitch on each other and even get rewards. The social order breaks down and folks begin to get depressed & suicidal from isolation and some even starve to death.
The virus inexplicably keeps re-emerging according to the global governments so more restrictions and punishments are enacted. Protests are not allowed as they will spread the virus you see.
In the background magnanimous billionaires are working diligently on a vaccine and a digital ID system to make sure you are a good citizen. The economy won’t be re-opened the governments say without mandatory vaccines for everyone. [There] are still those who are skeptical of all this but they are few and far between. These few refuse to take the vaccine and decide to head for the hills.
Well the vaccine is administered and many begin to die. Of course the governments blame the folks hiding in the hills as the cause. The folks who got just vaccinated are very tired, sick, starving and unfortunately not very bright believe this nonsense and begin to hunt down those folks in the hills and that’s where the movie begins in 2022.
I have decided to name the movie Freedoms Last Stand.
I forgot to add that while the virus spread large social media giants censored all dissenting opinions from even licensed experts that deviated from Supranational Organizational edicts that operate outside all governments.
