NSW FIRE & Rescue are attending a lithium battery fire every day..
Do’s ✅ & Dont’s ❌ of lithium-ion battery charging in your home…

1. ✅Make sure there’s a working smoke alarm or heat alarm in rooms where batteries are charged or stored.

2. ✅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.

3. ✅Large batteries like the ones used in e-scooters, e-bikes, and power-tools, should only be charged in the garage, shed or carport,
❌Don’t charge them in living spaces and exits.

4. ❌Do not charge batteries when sleeping or not at home.

5. ✅Once the device has a full battery, disconnect it from the charger.

6. ❌ Never use and charge devices at the same time in bed. Devices like phones, tablets and vapes can overheat and catch fire when left on blankets, sheets, and clothing.

7.❌ Don't use and charge batteries that are swelling or bulging, leaking, or overheating. Don't use and charge the device if it is cracked, dented, punctured, or crushed.

8.❌ If the charger didn't come with the device or battery don't use it. Just because the plug fits, it doesn't mean it's compatible.
✅Only use approved chargers to charge your battery.

9. ✅Only use chargers that show the Australian Regulatory Compliance Mark Tick.

10. ❌Charging a device or battery with the wrong power output (voltage and current), can cause damage to the battery and overheat it which can cause a fire.

11. ✅Tape over battery terminals before recycling
