I found this out the hard way a month ago. A neighbor “parked” his bike right by my bedroom window (basement level apartment) and it exploded into flames at 3 in the morning. It was terrifying. I felt the heat in my bedroom and heard my window cracking. Room all lit up orange. I yelled at the owner and he said NO it wasn’t the fact that he was charging it from his first floor apartment window, it’s the battery, they explode all the time duh! He’s not stupid at all for knowing that and putting it next to someone’s bedroom window! 🙄
