Siempre que sea posible, cargue los objetos eléctricos grandes,
como bicicletas eléctricas, scooters y herramientas eléctricas, al
aire libre.
🚨Durante la carga, asegúrese de que las salidas estén
despejadas.🚨
Las baterías de estos objetos almacenan más
energía, y los incendios se pueden propagar más rápido si, por
algún motivo, fallan. Para obtener más información, visite:

Stop using your device right away if the battery smells strange, is
warm to the touch, makes popping noises, changes in shape or
color, or if you see smoke. If it is safe, move the device away
from anything that can catch fire. A damaged battery can
overheat and start a fire. For more info: fpw.org.
