Details
Triangular lithium-ion battery packs for e-bikes.
The product presents a serious risk of fire as it is poorly built with poor welding to connect the components. The product also did not have a heat sensor to prevent overheating, with the battery management system not sufficient to prevent the battery from entering thermal runaway.
The product does not meet the requirements of the General Product Safety Regulations 2005.
What to do next
If you believe you have an affected product stop using it immediately and contact the retailer for further advice.
