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.
- Make sure a smoke alarm or heat alarm is working in rooms where batteries are charged or stored.
- 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.
- Large batteries like the ones used in e-scooters, e-bikes, and power-tools, should only be charged in the garage, shed or carport, away from living spaces and exits.
