The government has warned e-bike users to stop using incompatible chargers after a coroner found a man was killed when a battery plugged into the wrong device caught fire.
Fire England, which is part of the Home Office, has issued instructions to consumers to use only manufacturer-approved batteries and chargers after the death in March of Mizanur Rahman. The 41-year-old died after a fire broke out in an overcrowded London flat occupied by several food couriers using e-bikes.
