From mobile phones and laptops to e-bikes and scooters, lithium-ion batteries power many of the products we use daily. However, despite their widespread use, many consumers remain unaware their devices rely on these batteries. In fact, 44% of US adults know little about them, and 43% of e-bike owners are unaware their bike uses one. With the increasing need of sustainable, fast-charging batteries, the global market is projected to grow from USD 59.8 billion in 2022 to USD 307.8 billion by 2032. Consumers should be warned that lithium-ion batteries can overheat and pose a fire risk. We need to make #BatterySafety a global priority.
