Those fake UL claims could get quite dangerous as I have seen a battery go thermal luckily we were able to contain it before it started a fire but we had those protocols and proper battery kits from Call2Recycle so we knew exactly what to do. Imagine someone at home burning down their house or apartment to think they saved a couple bucks on some no-name e-vehicle or it happening at a shop that didn't have the C2R battery protocols in place. Hopefully this company and all related to it get shut down and fined heavily so we don't have anyone getting hurt. Lithium Ion fires are no joke, I have seen a few stories of shops burning down because of it and it scares the crap out me. I am sure stories like this are all too common and sometimes not reported upon or noticed because the market is just so big and hard to regulate overseas.
