battery charger

Risk

Fire

Models affected

Model: szYB-60W-29.4V2A

Details

Charging wall plug adapter for an electric bike.

The product presents a serious risk of fire as the plug and fuse do not comply with the relevant British Standard. If an electrical fault occurs within the appliance or supply, the fuse within the plug does not offer sufficient protection. This could mean that the plug would explode from the wall and cause a fire.
The product also failed the electric strength test and the insulation between the input and output circuits broke down when a 2.92 kV test voltage was applied between the circuits. It was considered that in all probability, the plug is counterfeit.

Risk

Fire

Models affected

Brand name: CAO MM
Battery model: 36V10aH
Charger model: SJT-85E
eBay item number: 155317013066

Details

36V 10AH battery in blue plastic wrap with name CAO MM and serial number PD20230419, supplied with li-ion charger.

The product presents a high risk of fire as the creepage and clearance distances within the charger are insufficient, which could cause the components to overheat and ignite. The battery and the transformer on the
charger were of a poor build quality, with wires soldered directly to the PCB, which could lead to overheating and a fire or explosion in the case of a short circuit. No fuse was present on the output to protect the battery pack from overcurrent conditions. The battery charging input and output cables also were not sufficiently protected against stress. The plug does not meet the dimensional requirements of the relevant standard, exposing the user to the risk of electric shock. The fuse also did not meet the requirements of the relevant standard, presenting a risk of fire or explosion under fault conditions.
