Stay safe around battery charged devices by following these handy tips!

🔌 Always use the correct charger for the product - never mix and match batteries and battery chargers!

🔌 Only use chargers that meet Australian safety standards

🔌 Charge batteries on hard surfaces with a clear space around them to allow heat to dissipate.

🔌 Keep chargers and batteries clear of combustible material while charging (e.g. not on bedding or the couch)

🔌 Let your batteries cool down before re-charging.

🔌 Unless the manufacturer’s instructions say the battery is designed for continuous connection to the charger, always make sure you unplug your charger once it’s finished charging.
