CHARGE SAFE

Don't ignore the signs! A damaged or failing Lithium-ion battery can explode, releasing highly toxic fumes. These fires are hard to put out.
* Never use or charge a damaged battery.
* Do not charge batteries when sleeping or not at home.
* Once the device has a full battery, disconnect it from the charger.
* Make sure a smoke alarm or heat alarm is working in rooms where batteries are charged or stored.
* Charge batteries on hard surfaces that can't catch on fire like concrete floors or tiles. Don't charge them on surfaces like beds, sofas, or carpet.
* Large batteries like the ones used in e-scooters, e-bikes, and power-tools, should only be charged in the garage, shed or carport, away from living spaces and exits.
