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.
Fire Prevention Week is October 4–10, 2026! 🔥🚒This year’s theme, “Charge Into Fire Safety — Safe Charging Is a Superpower,” is a reminder that the devices we use every day can become a fire hazard when batteries or chargers are damaged, improperly used, or left charging.Ebikes, escooters, and hoverboards use lithium-ion batteries that need a little bit more care than other batteries. 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. CPSC has seen many battery fires happen at night while families were sleeping.2. Types of batteries and chargers matter - only use ones approved by your bike/scooter manufacturer.3. Never use a battery that's been modified or reworked by an unqualified person. Never use a battery with repurposed or used cells.4. Recycle your batteries at a local recycling center.
