Are Safety Cases Sufficient to Protect E-Bike Batteries?

Electric bikes have become increasingly popular in recent years, thanks to their eco-friendliness and ease of use. But with the growing adoption of e-bikes comes a growing concern: battery safety. Lithium-ion batteries, which power these bikes, are known for their energy density—but also pose a risk of fire if not properly protected or stored.

So the big question is: Are safety cases enough to protect e-bike batteries? In this article, we look at what safety cases do, how they compare to a safety box, and whether they are really effective at extinguishing a lithium battery fire .

This can lead to thermal runaway, a chain reaction that can cause the battery to ignite or explode.

In residential areas such as South Beijerland, where our company LFIM is located, fire brigades are increasingly reporting incidents involving e-bike battery fires.
