The risk

This product presents a high risk of fire because it is possible for the wire to detach and bypass the protection circuit, causing it to short circuit. This could lead the battery to overheat and enter into thermal runaway, causing a fire. Additionally, the battery contained only half the number of cells required for the rated capacity, and the battery capacity measured at 18% of the rated capacity. Markings, labelling and documentation were missing.

This product does not meet the requirements of the General Product Safety Regulations 2005
