Hello Bigboss!! How are you today? Hope you're always healthy, your sustenance is smooth, and all your activities are made easy!!

Reported by Gridmotor.id, a motorcyclist in Bandung, West Java, almost caught fire due to a vape battery he kept in his bag. The incident occurred in the Taman Kopo Indah 3 area.

When the incident occurred, a local resident witnessed the moment and approached the motorcyclist. Then, after ensuring safety, the resident recorded and asked the motorcyclist about the problem. For the video, you can check Terangmedia on Instagram.

Apparently, the incident was triggered by a vape battery that the motorcyclist stored in his bag. The motorcyclist admitted that he kept the vape battery in the same pocket as his cell phone, and while riding, he didn't realize that the battery he stored caused sparks that burned his bag and the rain jacket he was wearing. Fortunately, the motorcyclist immediately noticed before the fire grew large, and he managed to escape a worse situation.

Regarding this, we can learn that storing vape batteries should not be done carelessly or haphazardly. Vape batteries themselves contain materials that can cause incidents such as explosions or fires, and this can happen if we are negligent in storing vape batteries. Therefore, in this article, we will also provide some tips for properly storing vape batteries to avoid unwanted incidents.

The step we must take to properly store vape batteries is to use a battery case when first purchasing batteries to store them when they are not in use. Usually, these battery cases are in the form of a pouch or a slightly thick plastic box. If we don't have such a case, we can buy one at electronics stores, vape shops, or e-commerce platforms. The importance of this case is to prevent friction with foreign objects nearby that could cause sparks.

Then, if we truly don't have a case or there's no way to get one, we can place the battery in a safe place. "Safe" means away from foreign objects, especially flammable ones. Also, if we want to store it in a bag to carry around, make sure to put it in a pocket away from devices that can emit radiation, such as cell phones or other electronic items.

Finally, we must frequently check the battery's condition. If the battery's wrapper is damaged or torn, it's better not to use the battery before re-wrapping it, and if the battery is indeed damaged and unusable, it's better to dispose of it. However, if you want to dispose of a battery, make sure it is wrapped in cardboard and labeled "battery, flammable" to avoid endangering the surrounding environment and other people.
