Risk Description
There may be some condensation in certain battery packs. During use, the condensate may form a liquid and this could, on contact with the internal cells, cause a short-circuit that would immediately evaporate the liquid within the sealed unit, raising the internal temperature to a point where the liquid would be forced out under pressure and at a high temperature. This could lead to a road accident if it happened while the user is riding the motorcycle.
