According to a recent report by Zhejiang TV, on the evening of November 25, 2025, Mr. Zhang rode his electric bicycle with his wife to pick up their child as usual in Hangzhou. During the journey, the lithium battery under the car suddenly exploded, and flames engulfed the body in an instant, turning the wife in the back seat into a firebreaker.
Mr. Zhang's voice trembled as he said, "Three fingers on his right hand are basically disabled... his calves to buttocks are severely burned. In just a few seconds, an ordinary trip turned into a lifelong nightmare.
Mr. Zhang's wife has suffered 70% deep burns on her entire body, and has already spent over 200000 yuan on medical expenses. Further rehabilitation will require over 100000 yuan, and she will face lifelong disability. The fire report directly points to the source of the disaster: a "non-standard assembled lithium battery".
It is understood that this electric vehicle was assembled by Mr. Zhang from different stores in Qiantang District, Hangzhou in May last year, and the lithium battery involved in the accident was purchased privately through the car dealership's introduction and contact with the lithium battery manufacturer for sales. During this period, he felt that the battery life was not enough, so he even raised the price by 1900 yuan and purchased a larger capacity battery of the same model through the "after-sales personnel" of the battery.
Two batteries cost nearly 7000 yuan... I never thought they would explode, "Mr. Zhang said regretfully." I knew things would turn out this way. I wouldn't have bought that lithium battery even if I had to die.
Non standard batteries refer to battery products that have not been certified by national mandatory standards, have non-standard production processes, and pose serious safety hazards. They are commonly used in fields such as electric bicycles and electric vehicle modification. These types of batteries often use inferior materials, illegally assemble or modify the original design parameters without authorization (such as increasing capacity, dismantling protective circuits), which can easily cause accidents such as fires and explosions.
