The Lithium Battery Fire Safety Checklist Every PEV Rider Needs in Their Garage
Jerry Bloodworth used the original charger. He charged in a detached garage, away from the house. He hadn't modified anything. On August 28, 2025, he still lost a three-car garage, two vehicles, and nearly $200,000.
This checklist exists because of riders like Jerry.

Why This Checklist Is Different
Most battery safety guides aren't written for riders.
Generic consumer checklists cover laptops, phone chargers, and kids' toys. They weren't written for the rider storing a 2,000Wh EUC in their garage, charging an e-moto overnight, or running multiple PEVs off a single circuit.
For EUC & scooter riders
You're storing and charging high-capacity batteries in your garage every day. This checklist was built for your setup — not a junk drawer full of AA batteries.
For e-bike & e-moto owners
Larger packs, longer charge times, higher risk. Know what to have within reach and how to set up your charging area the right way.
For anyone who charges in a garage or shed
Enclosed spaces change the risk profile entirely. This checklist covers location, ventilation, detection, and suppression — specific to how riders actually charge.
What's Inside
One page. Eight sections. Everything that matters.
1. Location & Surface
Where you charge matters as much as how you charge.
2. Charger & Electrical Safety
The most common mistakes riders make, and how to avoid them.
3. Ventilation & Temperature
Why your garage setup in July is different from January.
4. Battery Handling & Inspection
What to look for before every charge, including water damage — one of the most overlooked causes of delayed failure.
5. Monitoring & Early Warning
The five signs your battery is telling you something is wrong.
6. Fire Suppression & Safety Equipment
What you actually need within reach. Standard ABC extinguishers are not sufficient for lithium battery fires.
7. Multi-Unit & Fleet Charging
For riders running more than one device.
8. Emergency Response
If a fire starts, your sequence matters. Know it before you need it.
Printer-friendly format
Includes a one-page summary you can print, share with family, or keep near your main charging area.

From Someone Who Learned the Hard Way
"I was not aware of the magnitude of what these batteries could do."
"The fire chief told me that when those batteries fail, it's almost like a small phosphorus grenade going off. It shoots out fire. It sticks to stuff."
