Lithium-ion battery fires 🔋🔥

Here are some of the lithium-ion battery fires we have responded to over the last 6 months. These fires highlight the importance of correctly charging batteries at home.

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.
