🔋 Lithium-Ion Battery Safety Must Be a Priority: Lessons from a Tragedy in Brooklyn On October 16, 2024, a lithium-ion battery fire tragically claimed the life of a 69-year-old grandfather in Brighton Beach, Brooklyn, and injured three others, including a firefighter. This heartbreaking incident highlights the ongoing danger of unregulated and uncertified batteries. The burning battery blocked a critical escape route, emphasizing the need for safe storage practices and working smoke alarms—which were absent in the affected apartment. Despite legislative efforts and a decline in deaths (from 14 in 2023 to 4 so far in 2024), even one life lost is too many. The FDNY continues to remind the public: 🚨 Don’t try to extinguish these fires yourself—call 911 immediately. 🚪 Keep escape routes clear of battery-powered devices. ✅ Use only certified batteries to reduce the risk of thermal runaway.  🛑 Ensure smoke alarms are installed and working. At Amionx, we remain committed to advancing safer battery technology through our patented SafeCore™ technology, designed to mitigate thermal runaway events. Together, we can make these essential power sources safer for everyone. #BatterySafety #FirePrevention #Amionx #SafeCore #PublicSafety #EnergyTech #FDNY https://lnkd.in/gcXSTRT5
