Overview of Hayati Liora Pineapple Ice (Yellow) prefilled pods

The Hayati Liora Prefilled Vape Pods in Pineapple Ice (Yellow) are replaceable, factory-filled pods designed for the Hayati Liora pod device. There is no bottle to open, no liquid to measure and no coil to fit. You peel off the packaging, click the pod into the device, wait a short while for the cotton to soak up the liquid, and start vaping. That low-effort routine is the reason prefilled pods have become a staple for adults who want to move away from smoking without taking up a new hobby in the process.

This product sits in the pod-refill category, so it helps to be clear about what that means. The pod is the consumable part and the device is the reusable part. The device holds a rechargeable battery and a connector, and the pod clicks onto it. When the pod runs dry you remove it, recycle it and fit a new one. Because the battery stays with you and only the pod is replaced, the format avoids the waste problem that led the UK to ban single-use disposable vapes from 1 June 2025. For people who used to buy a new disposable every few days, a rechargeable pod system is the nearest legal equivalent in terms of convenience.

Pineapple Ice is the flavour inside this pod, and the yellow colour coding on the pack matches the yellow family across the Liora range. Expect a tropical fruit flavour with a cooling finish rather than a menthol-heavy one. The detail on sweetness, acidity and cooling is covered in the flavour section below.

Hayati is a name many UK vapers know from its Pro Max disposable line, and the Liora range is the brand's step into rechargeable pods. Its reputation has been built on flavour variety rather than gadget novelty, so flavour is a fair lens for judging this pod. Here is a quick summary of what you are getting:

• Format: a sealed, prefilled pod for the Hayati Liora device, not a standalone disposable.
• Flavour: Pineapple Ice, with ripe pineapple up front and a light chill on the exhale.
• Capacity: pods in this class hold up to 2ml of e-liquid, which is the UK maximum for a nicotine pod.
• Nicotine: UK law caps strength at 20mg/ml, so check the figure printed on your pack.
• Draw style: mouth-to-lung, with a snug airflow rather than a wide-open one.
• Power: supplied by the Liora device, which you recharge over USB.

The sections below cover how it tastes, how long it lasts, how the hardware behaves, how to use and troubleshoot it, and how it compares on price. Where we cannot verify a specific figure from the pack, we say so and give a realistic range instead of guessing, so always treat the printed specification on your own pack as the final word.

Flavour profile: what Pineapple Ice tastes like

Pineapple is a tricky fruit to capture in a vape liquid. Done badly it tastes like a sharp, synthetic sweet with a chemical edge. Done well it keeps the sweetness and the slight tartness that real pineapple has, and it avoids the throat-scratching sourness that some candy-style tropical flavours bring. Pineapple Ice in this Liora pod aims for the second outcome, with a cooling layer added on top rather than blended through the whole flavour.

On the inhale you should get a juicy, sweet pineapple note with a hint of acidity at the sides of the tongue. It reads closer to fresh pineapple chunks than to tinned pineapple in syrup, although flavour is subjective and your palate may place it differently. As the vapour settles, the cooling agent registers at the back of the throat and on the roof of the mouth. On the exhale the chill comes forward and a lightly sweet, slightly tangy pineapple aftertaste lingers for a few seconds.

To make that easier to picture, here is how a single puff tends to break down:

• Inhale: sweet, juicy pineapple with a gentle tang.
• Mid-draw: the fruit holds its shape while the cooling builds quietly in the background.
• Exhale: a clean chill and a bright, tropical finish.
• Aftertaste: short and lightly sweet, with a cool, fresh mouthfeel.

The ice element deserves a note. Cooling agents in e-liquid are not menthol in the traditional sense. They create a sensation of cold without a strong minty taste, which is why an ice fruit flavour can feel fresh without tasting like a mint sweet. If you normally avoid menthol, Pineapple Ice is usually easier to live with than a mint or menthol flavour. If you are particularly sensitive to cooling, it may still feel crisp on the throat, especially at higher nicotine strengths where the throat hit is already firmer.

Sweetness is moderate rather than heavy. Fruit flavours in this class can build up a coating on the tongue over a long session, an effect vapers often call flavour fatigue, where a liquid seems to fade even though nothing has changed. Pineapple has a natural advantage here because its acidity breaks up the sweetness, which is one reason tropical flavours tend to hold up over a full day better than dessert or custard styles. If you do notice the taste dulling, drink some water, take a short break, or switch to a different Liora flavour for a few hours.

If you like this style, you will probably also enjoy other fruit-and-chill combinations such as mango ice, watermelon ice or passion fruit blends. Within the Liora range, the other yellow-coded pods, including Banana Ice and Fruit Twist, sit in a similar sweet-fruit territory but with a different lead note. Pineapple Ice is the brighter and tangier of the three, which suits people who find banana or candy flavours too soft and heavy.

Performance and puff delivery

The first question most people ask about a prefilled pod is how many puffs it will give. The honest answer is that it depends on the pod capacity, the nicotine strength, the coil and, above all, how you draw. A pod holding up to 2ml of liquid, which is the UK maximum, commonly delivers somewhere around 400 to 600 puffs. Treat headline claims that run into the thousands with suspicion. Those figures usually come from machine testing with very short, gentle draws that real users rarely repeat.

The arithmetic is simple and worth knowing. A 2ml pod at 20mg/ml contains 40mg of nicotine in total. Spread over roughly 500 puffs, each draw delivers a small amount, which is why pod users often take a fair number of puffs across the day. A person used to ten or more cigarettes daily may finish a pod in about a day, while a lighter user could stretch one across two or three days.

Several factors push the puff count up or down:

• Draw length: a two-second draw uses noticeably less liquid than a four-second one.
• Gap between puffs: leaving 20 to 30 seconds lets the wick re-saturate and reduces wasted liquid.
• Chain vaping: back-to-back draws overheat the coil and burn through liquid faster.
• Temperature: cold air thickens e-liquid, which can make the wick struggle to keep up outdoors in winter.
• Battery level: as the device battery drops, vapour output can soften slightly.

Draw feel is built around mouth-to-lung vaping. You pull vapour into your mouth, pause briefly, then inhale. The airflow is moderate to snug, which concentrates flavour and gives a draw closer to a cigarette than to a big open-airflow device. Vapour production is modest. If you want large clouds, a sub-ohm tank is a different category and will feel very different in your hand and in your throat.

Consistency matters as much as raw puff count. A good pod gives steady flavour from the first puff to the last, then tails off over the final few draws as the wick dries. If the flavour turns burnt or harsh while you can still see liquid in the pod, something is wrong, and the troubleshooting section below explains the usual causes. A short delay before the first puff of a new pod is normal, as the cotton needs a minute or two to saturate.

One practical tip for pineapple and other acidic fruit flavours is to avoid very long draws. Heat can sharpen the tang and make it harsher on the throat. Shorter, smoother pulls keep the flavour rounded, save liquid and put less strain on the coil. If you want the pod to last, treat it like a sipping device rather than something to pull on hard.

Design and build quality

A prefilled pod is a small and fairly simple object, but its design decisions affect day-to-day use. The Liora pod is a compact, plastic-bodied cartridge with a mouthpiece at one end and a connector at the other. It is sealed at the factory, so the reservoir, the wicking material and the coil all come as one unit. Because the pod is meant to be recycled rather than refilled, there is no fill port to leak and no coil to unscrew.

The yellow colour coding on the pack and pod helps you tell variants apart at a glance. If you keep several Liora flavours in a bag or drawer, the colour is a quick way to avoid grabbing the wrong one. It also helps in a household where several adults vape different flavours.

Fit is the part of build quality you will notice most. A well-made pod seats into the device with a clear click or firm resistance and stays put when you tilt or shake the device lightly. There should be no wobble and no gap between the pod and the device body. A loose pod causes two problems: poor electrical contact, which leads to cutting out, and weak sealing, which can lead to seepage around the base. If a pod does not seat properly, remove it, check the contacts for dirt or residue, and refit it. If the problem repeats with several pods, the device is the likelier culprit.

Here are the build points worth checking when your order arrives:

• Seal integrity: the pod should be sealed, with no liquid visible inside the packaging.
• Mouthpiece: it should be smooth, with no sharp moulding lines and a comfortable shape for your lips.
• Liquid level: where the pod has a viewing window, the liquid should sit close to the fill line.
• Contacts: the metal contacts at the base should be clean and undamaged.
• Printed information: the strength, flavour name and batch details should be legible on the pack.

In use, a prefilled pod should feel solid without being heavy. Plastic pods are light enough to carry in a pocket, and the closed design means they tolerate being jostled better than an open refillable tank. Pods do not enjoy heat, though. Leaving one on a car dashboard or beside a radiator can thin the liquid and push it past the wick, so it may leak into the device. A cool, dry pocket or drawer is the sensible place to keep spare pods.

As with any plastic consumable, small cosmetic variation between pods is normal. A faint mould line or slightly different tint does not affect performance. Functional faults, such as cracks, loose fits or visible leaking, are another matter, and our returns policy covers them.

Battery and charging

The pod itself contains no battery. Power comes from the Liora device, which has an integrated rechargeable lithium battery and a charging port. Pod devices in this class commonly carry batteries somewhere between 400 and 1000mAh, and the exact capacity for your device is given on its box or in its manual. As a general rule, a larger battery means fewer top-ups but a slightly larger and heavier device.

Charging is done over USB, normally with a USB-C cable. A full charge for a device of this size typically takes between 30 and 90 minutes. A standard phone charger or a computer USB port is enough, and there is no benefit in reaching for an ultra-fast or high-wattage brick. A plain 5V supply is the safer choice. Avoid cheap, unbranded chargers of unknown origin, since poor-quality power supplies are one of the more common causes of problems in small rechargeable electronics.

How long a charge lasts depends on battery size, your draw habits and the device's power output. As a rough guide:

• Light use: one charge can last a full day or more.
• Moderate use: expect to charge once a day, usually overnight or at your desk.
• Heavy use: you may want a mid-day top-up, and a 15 to 20 minute charge covers it comfortably.

Because a single pod can outlast more than one battery charge, it helps to think of charging as a daily routine rather than something tied to pod changes. Plugging in while you work or watch television means the device is rarely empty when you need it. If you commute or travel, carrying a short USB-C cable is easier than carrying a spare device.

Good battery habits extend the life of the device:

• Do not leave the device charging unattended for long periods.
• Do not charge it under a pillow, on a sofa or anywhere heat cannot escape.
• Do not use it while plugged in unless the manual says it is designed for that.
• Do not carry it loose in a pocket or bag with keys or coins that could touch the charging port.
• Keep it out of direct sun and away from hot cars.

Stop using the device and speak to us or the manufacturer if it becomes unusually hot, swells, smells odd or stops charging. A damaged lithium battery should never be used or thrown in household rubbish. When the device reaches the end of its life, take it to a small electricals or vape recycling point rather than the bin. Fire risk from batteries in waste streams is a real problem for UK recycling centres, and a few seconds spent finding the right drop-off point makes a genuine difference.

Coil and mesh technology inside the pod

The coil is the heating element that turns liquid into vapour, and its material, shape and resistance determine how the pod tastes and feels. In a prefilled pod the coil is permanently built in and matched to a specific wick and liquid, so you never have to buy, prime or fit one yourself. That is a real convenience, and it also means every new pod arrives with a brand-new coil.

Prefilled pods in this category commonly use one of two coil styles. The first is a mesh coil, which uses a thin sheet of perforated metal instead of a wire spiral. Its advantage is surface area. A flat mesh heats a larger part of the wick at once, which tends to give more even heating, clearer flavour and fewer hot spots. The second is a traditional wound-wire coil wrapped around a cotton or ceramic wick, which is simpler and cheaper to make but can heat less evenly. Check the pack or the manufacturer's information for the specific coil type in your batch. We would rather you rely on the printed specification than on a generic description from us.

Resistance is the other number that matters. Mouth-to-lung pod coils generally sit around 0.8 to 1.2 ohms. A higher-resistance coil draws less power, produces cooler vapour and tends to last longer per charge, while a lower-resistance coil heats faster and produces more vapour. Pods around the 1.0 ohm mark are a common compromise between flavour, battery life and draw feel.

Why coil design matters for a flavour like Pineapple Ice:

• Even heating helps preserve the fruit notes instead of scorching them, which matters because acidic flavours turn harsh quickly when overheated.
• Good wicking keeps the cooling agent evenly distributed, so the chill feels smooth rather than patchy.
• A fresh coil every time avoids the gradual flavour muting and burnt taste that come from an ageing coil in a refillable tank.
• A sealed system reduces the risk of leaks and flooding from a badly seated coil.

Coil life inside a pod is tied to the liquid it holds. The coil is designed to last as long as the pod does, and a little longer. It is not designed to be reused with a second fill, which is another reason not to open and refill these pods. Sugars and sweeteners in the liquid caramelise on the coil over time. By the time the pod is empty, you are close to the point where residue would start to affect taste. Replacing the whole pod resets that cycle neatly.

The takeaway is simple. You do not need to understand coil engineering to use a Liora pod, but knowing what the coil does explains why gentle draws, gaps between puffs and a properly seated pod all lead to a better experience.

Nicotine strength guidance

Choosing a nicotine strength is the most important decision for a satisfying switch away from smoking, so it is worth getting right the first time. UK law caps nicotine in vape liquid at 20mg/ml, which is the same as 2 percent. The limit applies to pods, refill bottles and any other nicotine e-liquid sold in the UK. Check the strength printed on your Liora pod pack, because that figure, rather than a general description, is what you are buying.

Most prefilled pods use nicotine salts rather than freebase nicotine. Salts are smoother on the throat at higher strengths, which is why a 20mg/ml salt feels nothing like a 20mg/ml freebase liquid. Salts also deliver nicotine a little faster, which many smokers find more cigarette-like and more satisfying.

A sensible starting point depends on how much you smoke or vape now:

• Heavy smokers (around 10 or more cigarettes a day): the top strength of 20mg/ml is the usual starting point, as lower strengths often leave cravings unaddressed and lead to chain vaping.
• Moderate smokers (around 5 to 10 a day): 20mg/ml may still suit, but if a lower strength is offered it is worth considering, especially if you dislike a firm throat hit.
• Light or social smokers: a lower strength, where available, is usually more comfortable.
• Existing vapers on low-strength freebase: be careful. A 20mg/ml salt can feel far stronger than 3 or 6mg freebase, so you may prefer a lower strength or fewer puffs.

Signs that the strength is too high include dizziness, nausea, headache, a racing heartbeat, hiccups and a harsh throat. If that sounds familiar, stop, take a break, drink some water and get some fresh air. Then take fewer and shorter puffs, or move to a lower strength next time. Signs that the strength is too low are a nagging craving soon after vaping, a tendency to puff constantly, and still reaching for cigarettes.

Remember that the cooling element in Pineapple Ice can make a high-strength pod feel sharper than the same strength in a plain fruit flavour. The chill and the nicotine both register in the throat, so the two sensations stack. If you are trying a higher strength for the first time, take a few gentle puffs and see how it sits before settling into a routine.

The aim for most smokers is to switch completely and later step down gradually if they wish. Nicotine strength is not a measure of quality. Pick the one that stops you wanting a cigarette, not the one that sounds strongest. If you are unsure, your local stop smoking service, pharmacist or GP can advise, and many offer free support for people moving to vaping.

Who the Hayati Liora Pineapple Ice pods are for

These pods are aimed at adult smokers who want to switch and at existing vapers who like a simple, tidy format. They are especially relevant to people who used disposable vapes before the 2025 ban and want something just as easy to carry but rechargeable. The flavour appeals to anyone who prefers bright, tangy fruit to dessert, tobacco or heavy menthol styles.

The pods are likely to suit you if:

• You are an adult smoker looking for a straightforward alternative to cigarettes.
• You used disposables and want a legal, rechargeable replacement with a similar feel.
• You prefer a mouth-to-lung draw that mimics a cigarette rather than large clouds.
• You like tropical fruit flavours with a cooling finish.
• You want a low-maintenance setup with no bottles, no coil changes and no priming.
• You value pocket-friendly size and the ability to swap flavours by changing pods.

They are probably not the right choice if:

• You do not smoke or vape. Nicotine is addictive, and these products are for existing adult smokers and vapers only.
• You are under 18. It is illegal in the UK to sell nicotine vapes to anyone under 18, and we do not do so.
• You want to mix your own liquids or fine-tune strength, which needs a refillable system.
• You enjoy large, warm clouds and a sub-ohm style draw.
• You are very price-sensitive and happy to handle bottled liquid, since refillable setups cost less per millilitre.

Health guidance is worth stating plainly. Vaping is widely regarded by UK health bodies as far less harmful than smoking, but it is not risk-free, and it is not recommended for people who have never smoked. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have a heart condition or take regular medication, speak to a doctor or pharmacist before using nicotine products. The goal for most users is to move away from cigarettes entirely, so using a pod alongside smoking, rather than instead of it, does not deliver the benefit most people are after.

If you are not sure whether the Liora system is a good fit, think about how you want to use it. If your day involves short, discreet breaks, a pod device is ideal. If you prefer long, relaxed sessions at home, you may be happier with a larger refillable device and bottled liquid in a flavour like pineapple. Both routes are valid, and many vapers end up using one of each.

How to use your Liora pod

Using a prefilled pod is meant to be simple, but a few habits make a noticeable difference to flavour and pod life. Follow these steps for a new pod:

• Check the pod. Look for damage, cracks or liquid on the outside, then remove any protective cap or seal from the connector and mouthpiece as shown on the pack.
• Fit the pod. Push it firmly into the Liora device until it clicks or sits flush. Do not force it if it does not line up.
• Let it rest. Wait one to two minutes so the cotton wick can absorb liquid. Skipping this is the most common cause of a dry or burnt first puff.
• Take a few gentle puffs. Use short, soft draws of one to two seconds to prime the coil before settling into your normal pattern.
• Vape in a steady rhythm. Draw slowly for two to three seconds, pause, then inhale or exhale. Leave 20 to 30 seconds between puffs.

Depending on your device, activation may be by draw, where it fires as you inhale, or by a button. Follow the instructions supplied with your Liora device, as different models handle this differently. Most draw-activated devices have a small LED that shows when they fire and may flash to signal a low battery or a fault.

Some habits to build from day one:

• Keep the device upright when you are not using it, so liquid stays near the wick and does not pool by the connector.
• Wipe the connector with a dry cloth or cotton bud if you notice residue.
• Do not blow back through the mouthpiece, as this can push liquid into the airflow channel.
• Do not leave the pod in a hot place or in direct sunlight.
• Store spare pods upright, in their packaging, somewhere cool and dry.

When the flavour turns thin, harsh or burnt, or when vapour production stops while the battery is charged, the pod is likely empty. Remove it, recycle it and fit a new one. Do not keep pulling on an empty pod, as a dry coil gives an unpleasant taste and can shorten battery life. Keep a spare pod with you so that you are never tempted to reach for a cigarette when one runs out.

If you want to change flavours, simply remove the current pod and fit another. There is no need to clean the device between flavours beyond a quick wipe of the connector, since the coil and liquid are inside each pod. Mixing flavours this way is a good way to avoid flavour fatigue.

Troubleshooting common problems

Most problems with pod systems have simple causes. Work through the likely ones before assuming something is faulty.

The pod is not firing or the device does nothing. Check the battery first, as a flat device is the most common cause. Charge it for at least 15 minutes. Then remove the pod and refit it firmly, making sure it seats completely. Wipe the contacts at the base of the pod and inside the device with a dry cotton bud. If the device still does nothing and you have tried a second pod, the device may be faulty.

The first puff tastes dry or burnt. The wick has probably not finished saturating. Wait a couple of minutes and try again with gentle draws. If the burnt taste continues and you can still see liquid, the pod may be a faulty unit and it is worth contacting us.

Weak flavour or thin vapour. Several things can cause this. The pod may be nearly empty, the battery may be low, or you may be suffering from flavour fatigue. Try charging the device, switching to a different flavour for an hour, and drinking some water. In cold weather, warm the device in your hands for a minute before use.

Gurgling or spitting. This usually means excess liquid is sitting in the airflow channel. Gently blow across the mouthpiece, not through it, or wipe it with a tissue. Take a few light draws before returning to normal use. Avoid chain vaping, which can flood the coil.

Leaking. A small amount of condensation around the mouthpiece is normal. Visible liquid dripping from the base is not. Common causes are heat, pressure changes, a poorly seated pod or storing the device on its side. Wipe the pod and device dry, refit the pod and store it upright. If the leaking continues across several pods, keep the packaging and contact us.

Harsh throat hit. Reduce the draw length, wait longer between puffs and check you are using an appropriate strength. A strong cooling effect combined with a high nicotine strength can feel sharp for some people.

Charging problems. Try a different cable and a different power source. Check the charging port for lint. If the device becomes hot, swells or smells strange, stop using it immediately and take it to a suitable recycling point.

When none of these steps help, collect your order number, take clear photos of the fault and get in touch. Faulty and damaged goods are covered by your statutory rights under UK consumer law, and we are happy to arrange a replacement or refund where a product arrives defective.

Value for money and how it compares

Judging value in the pod category comes down to cost per puff, convenience and the price of the hardware. Prefilled pods cost more per millilitre than bottled e-liquid, because you are paying for the sealed coil, the pod body and the ready-to-use format. In return you get zero setup, no spills, no coil changes and no need to learn about wattage or resistance. For many people that convenience is worth the premium, particularly when the alternative is going back to cigarettes.

The simplest way to work out your own cost is to divide the pack price by the expected puff count of around 400 to 600 per pod, and then by the number of pods you use each week. Heavy users will go through pods faster, so the cost builds up. Light users may find a single pack lasts a long time. Compare that to what you currently spend on tobacco, which in the UK is considerably higher for most daily smokers.

Here is a fair look at the alternatives:

• Single-use disposables: these were cheap per unit but are now banned from sale in the UK, so they are no longer an option. A rechargeable pod system is the closest legal equivalent, and it generates far less waste.
• Refillable pod kits with nicotine salt bottles: these cost noticeably less per millilitre and let you pick any flavour and strength. The trade-off is handling bottles, refilling the pod, and replacing coils. If you do not mind tinkering, this is the cheaper route over time.
• Other prefilled pod systems from mainstream brands, such as Vuse: these are widely sold and well established, though their flavour ranges are usually narrower and their pods are not interchangeable with the Liora. The choice is partly about taste and partly about which system suits your hands and habits.
• Larger refillable devices and sub-ohm tanks: these deliver bigger clouds and more flavour but need more maintenance, more battery and usually more spend upfront. They are a different style rather than a direct rival.

Where the Liora pod does well is in its range of flavours and its ease of use. Where it is less compelling is on pure price per millilitre, where refillable kits will always win. If you are new to vaping and want the lowest-effort route, the pod format is hard to beat on simplicity. If you already vape and you are comfortable with bottles, a refillable pod device and a salt nic pineapple liquid will cost less.

The device is a one-off cost that you recoup over time, since you keep it and only replace pods. Buying a multipack of pods can lower the unit price, and the flavour variety in the range lets you rotate to keep things interesting. As always, the cheapest option is the one that actually keeps you off cigarettes.

UK rules, storage and recycling

Selling and buying vape products in the UK is regulated, and it helps to know the main rules. Nicotine e-liquid is capped at 20mg/ml, and a nicotine pod or tank cannot hold more than 2ml. Refill bottles are limited to 10ml. Packaging must carry health warnings and ingredient information, and products must be notified to the regulator before they are sold. Vape products may only be sold to people aged 18 or over, and we apply age checks accordingly.

Single-use disposable vapes have been banned from sale in the UK since 1 June 2025. Rechargeable devices with replaceable pods, such as the Liora, remain legal, and this is the main reason the format has grown in popularity. Rules continue to evolve, including those on flavour descriptions, packaging and display, so it is worth checking government guidance if you want the latest position.

Safe storage keeps your pods working properly and keeps them away from children and pets:

• Store pods and devices out of reach and sight of children and animals. Nicotine can be harmful if swallowed or if the liquid touches skin.
• Keep pods upright, in their packaging, in a cool and dry place.
• Avoid direct sunlight, hot cars and sources of heat, which can cause leaking.
• Do not store pods loose in a bag with sharp objects that could puncture them.
• If liquid touches your skin, wash it off with soap and water. If it gets in your eyes, rinse with water and seek medical advice.

Recycling matters just as much. Used pods contain a small amount of residual liquid and the devices contain a lithium battery, so neither should go in household rubbish or ordinary recycling. Instead, take used pods and devices to a vape or small electricals recycling point. Many vape shops, supermarkets and council recycling centres offer drop-off bins, and in the UK retailers that sell electrical goods are required to provide take-back. If you are unsure where your nearest point is, ask a retailer or check your local council website.

Responsible recycling closes the loop on what makes the pod format worthwhile. A device that is kept and recharged, with pods that are returned to a proper collection point, creates a fraction of the waste of the disposables that came before it. It only takes a minute, and it keeps batteries out of bin lorries and waste sites, where they are a recognised fire hazard.
