The coroner's concerns
1. faulty lithium ion e-bike batteries and chargers
“there is presently no British or European (e.g. BSI or PAS) standard to control what lithium ion e-bike batteries and chargers can be sold in the UK and that, consequently: o It is easy for people to buy (including online) lithium ion batteries that are not of sufficient quality or otherwise not of an appropriate standard to charge safely. o There is an increased risk of people mixing and matching lithium ion batteries with chargers that carry a different voltage rating.”
