Another boat fire blamed on lithium batteries although in this case you have to be wondering what they were thinking. If a lithium battery goes in the drink… don’t bring it on board!!

We have a large battery pack for an eFoil and I installed a temperature sensor to be alerted in case it gets hot…. A buddy of mine uses an eBike and I don’t let it come on board to charge; extension cord and it stays on the dock.

Deadly Yacht Fire Believed To Be Caused by Lithium-Ion Batteries

A deadly yacht fire aboard a 70-foot Viking is believed to be caused by lithium-ion batteries.

Quote from www dot the-triton dot com, "Ramsay and investigators believe the e-bike and its battery fell into the water earlier in the day of the fire, according to The Keys Citizen’s report. After retrieval of the bike, it was parked on the dock, but the battery was removed and placed on a wooden cabinet inside the vessel. The cabinet also contained USCG-required safety flares, which were ignited after the wooden cabinet caught on fire due to the battery."

No words to describe the complete idiocy of the victims if the investigators belief proves to be true.

Don't Lithium-ion battery powered devices come with caution laden operator instructions and warning?????
 
E-bikes have been in the news for causing fires everywhere. From what I have seen they are dangerous fire hazards, period. Costco recently recalled phone power banks. It's not just E-bikes we have to be concerned about.

The USCG has had hard evidence since 2017, that Lithium Batteries are a deadly problem on an vessel. When presented with the hard evidence that a Lithium Battery in a Vape Pen had exploded, caused a fire that led to a death, the USCG chose to put on blinders and report that the Cause and Origin of the fire was "Spontaneous Combustion of dryer lint", despite very clear evidence of no fire in the dryer/vent.

What was the USCG motivation to falsify the report?
 
Given the USCG is said to have that hard evidence as quoted above , then there would have to be a written report. So, why wasn't the written report included in the above post?
