Myth 1: Lithium-ion batteries frequently catch fire spontaneously.

• Reality: While lithium-ion batteries can catch fire, it’s rare and usually caused by misuse, such as overcharging, physical damage, or exposure to extreme heat. Proper handling and storage significantly reduce risks.

Myth 2: Batteries can ignite even when not in use.

• Reality: Fires in unused batteries are extremely rare. Most incidents occur due to improper storage, such as exposure to flammable materials or using substandard chargers.

Myth 3: All lithium-ion batteries are equally risky.

• Reality: Quality matters. Batteries from reputable manufacturers with proper certifications are far safer than cheap, uncertified alternatives.
