For tools and rides, charge outside.

Charge your large items like e-bikes, scooters, hoverboards, and power tools outside whenever possible. Do not block your doors or windows with these items while they're charging. The batteries in these devices are typically larger and store more energy, and fires can grow quickly if they fail. For more info, visit fpw.org.

Fully Charged? Time to unplug.

Be sure to unplug your device when it is fully charged. Smart phones and other electronics aren't smart enough to stop charging on their own! Leaving it plugged in for longer than what's needed can overheat and stress the battery. For more info, visit fpw.org.

Feels hot? Just stop.

Stop using your device right away if the battery smells strange, is warm to the touch, makes popping noises, changes in shape (expands) or color, or if you see smoke. If it is safe to do so, move the device away from anything that can catch fire, preferably oustide of and away from your house. A damaged battery can overheat and start a fire.

Soft surface? Hard pass.

Charge your devices such as cell phones, game controllers, and laptops on a hard, flat surface like a table, desk, or floor. Beds, couches, and pillows can trap heat and block airflow, which can cause a battery to overheat. For more info, visit fpw.org.

Cheap charger? Don't chance it.

Use the cord and charger that came with your device or ones approved by the manufacturer. Using the wrong charger can damage the battery and the device and can increase the risk of fire. If your charger cable is frayed or the 'brick' is broken and you can see the wires inside, it's time to pitch it and buy a new one!
