Fire Prevention Week continues with our focus on best practices with lithium-ion batteries.
⚠️ Safe charging habits can help prevent battery fires.
To reduce risk:
❌ Don’t charge batteries on beds, couches, or under pillows
❌ Don’t park or store e-bikes and e-scooters inside your home or near exit doors
If a battery fails, fire and smoke can spread quickly and block escape routes. As part of Fire Prevention Week, check that you’re safely charging and storing your lithium-ion batteries.
