Certification of General Lithium Battery Safety & Awareness

Personal mobility devices (PMDs), e-scooters, power-assisted bicycles (PABs), and personal mobility aids (PMAs) are now everywhere in Singapore. They offer convenience, fun, and cost savings — but behind every ride is the battery, and that’s where the real risk lies.

Unsafe, uncertified lithium batteries are flooding the market. Many riders don’t know how dangerous these can be until it’s too late. Fires, property loss, even lives have been lost. That’s why we align with the Certification of General Lithium Battery Safety & Awareness — to arm you with knowledge, expose the dangers of fake/cheap batteries, and show why only certified solutions matter.

Why Do Some PMDs Catch Fire?

Almost every fire you hear about starts with the battery. Not the motor. Not the controller. The battery.

Poor-quality batteries can:

• Overheat during charging

• Ignite from damaged cells or weak welds

• Explode due to missing safety systems

Meanwhile, certified batteries may run safely for years. The difference? Cell quality, safety design, and where you buy it from.

The Root Cause: Cheap Batteries & Low Awareness

Why do riders end up with unsafe batteries? Two main reasons: budget and lack of knowledge.

Many riders:

• DIY their own modifications without proper understanding

• Fall for cheap deals online (Carousell, Telegram, etc.)

• Buy “Panasonic” or “LG” batteries for $360–$460 — which in reality contain:
  1) Low-grade or counterfeit cells (India/China rejects)
  2) No proper BMS (Battery Management System)
  3) Unsafe welding and poor casing
  4) Cells designed for energy storage, not mobility use

Every week, we see customers coming in with unsafe packs bought from these sellers. Many of them are ticking time bombs, waiting to fail.

Understanding Your Battery — Knowledge is Power

Whether you ride a PMA, PAB, or PMD, your battery is the heart of your ride. Knowing the basics helps you make the right choice:

⚡ Voltage (V) — Power Level

• Higher voltage = more speed & torque

• Must match your motor/controller

• Wrong voltage can fry your system or cause cut-offs

📌 Example: 48V → standard use, 60V → stronger torque, 72V → racing performance (but requires full system upgrade).

🔋 Capacity (Ah) — Range / Fuel Tank

• Higher Ah = more range, less charging

• Bigger Ah = heavier battery

📌 Example: 48V 10Ah ≈ 10–15km | 48V 20Ah ≈ 20–30km

(actual range depends on weight, terrain, speed).

⚡ Discharge Rate — Power Delivery

• Support Only Low discharge → overheating, cut-offs

• Can Tahan High discharge → supports performance motors

📌 Rule of thumb: ~10A discharge for every 5Ah

• 48V 30Ah ≈ 60A

• 60V 20Ah ≈ 40A

With premium cells (Samsung 40T, Molicel, Dogecel), discharge can safely go higher.

🧠 BMS (Battery Management System) — The Brain

• Prevents overcharge, over-discharge, and short-circuits

• Balances cells for longer lifespan

• Cuts power in unsafe conditions

📌 Even the best cells mean nothing without a reliable BMS. A casing battery often uses 25A BMS, meaning no matter how good the cells are, it caps output.

Key Safety Reminders

Most fires come from battery faults — overheated or damaged cells. Controllers/motors only catch fire if DIY wiring shorts out.

To stay safe:

• ✅ Use the correct charger.

• ✅ Don’t charge unattended.

• ✅ Stop immediately if battery gets hot or swollen.

Golden Rules for Safe Matching:

1. BMS Constant Discharge < Battery Max Cell Discharge

2. BMS Constant Discharge > Controller Input Current

⚠️ Never mix controller, motor, and battery “anyhow.” One mismatch = one fire risk.

🚫 Avoid secondhand packs — many are unsafe, tampered, or rejected builds.

The Consequences of Unsafe Batteries

Unsafe batteries don’t just “fail.” They burn down homes. They injure riders. They spread fire within minutes — faster than you can react.

Every unsafe battery sold online puts not just you, but your family and neighbors at risk.
