Security video shows e-bike battery fire erupt inside Ann Arbor garage

Security video from Ann Arbor captured the moment an e-bike battery unexpectedly caught fire in a garage, causing a flash, flames, and smoke that spread into the house after the force of the explosion blew open an interior door. Firefighters extinguished the blaze, but smoke and carbon monoxide filled the home. The battery was not charging at the time, and officials warn that any lithium-ion battery device can ignite, even when not plugged in. Authorities advise against storing such batteries inside homes.
