Between approximately 2010 and 2018, public discussions around battery safety became increasingly visible as lithium-ion cells were adopted across consumer electronics, including early vaping devices.

At that time, information related to battery handling and risk awareness was often circulated through community forums and informal sources. Over subsequent years, safety responsibility shifted toward manufacturers, transport standards, and regulatory authorities.
