I just got a new tenant in my rental house and this time I had to add a clause to the lease enumerating brands of lithium-ion batteries the tenant is allowed to keep on the premises. These things are basically grenades that you can buy for $2 on Temu. Stronger regulations needed.

Won't help much. Way too much cheap lithium ion crap with incapsulated batteries is flooding the markets

It does help. It raise the opportunity to discuss it, which is helpful because not everyone is aware that this is a problem, and like many other lease clauses it is there to assign blame in case an exceptionally bad event comes to pass.

It's got to be tricky for people to know what cells they have inside their {phone, toothbrush, bike etc}.
