An illegal lithium-ion battery manufacturing operation in Queens was busted by the FDNY.
Dozens of battery packs and hundreds of individual lithium-ion cells used to alter, create and repair the batteries were discovered, CBS2 reported.
The business was issued a number of violations.
The batteries were blamed for 18 deaths and more than 200 fires last year, FDNY officers said.
