Everyday choices can help prevent lithium-ion battery fires. Use your charging superpower by making smart choices every time you plug in:- Stop using your device right away if the battery smells strange, is warm to the touch, makes popping noises, changes in shape or color, or if you see smoke. If it is safe, move the device away from anything that can catch fire. A damaged battery can overheat and start a fire.- When charging on a plane, keep portable charging devices on the tray table. Do not charge devices in overhead compartments and never charge e-cigarettes or vapes on a plane. If a battery overheats or fails, the flight crew needs to be able to respond quickly.- When possible, charge larger items like e-bikes, scooters, and power tools outside. Never block exits while charging. These batteries store more energy, and fires can grow quickly if they fail.For more information, visit fpw.org.

Here's 4 tips on how to avoid deadly battery fires at home.1. Never charge your bike, scooter, or hoverboard while you're sleeping or not home.
