Lithium-Ion Battery Safety PSA

Lithium-ion rechargeable batteries are commonly used in home electronics such as phones, laptop computers, tablets, e-scooters, and other devices requiring plug-in charging. These batteries are small and powerful, but when used incorrectly, they can overheat, catch fire, or explode. Fire agencies across California continue to respond to fires caused by lithium-ion batteries. For your safety and the safety of those around you, please go to the Office of the State Fire Marshal's website and ready bulletin 23-003 (published 4/3/2023) to better learn how to safely use, charge, store, and dispose of lithium-ion batteries. https://osfm.fire.ca.gov/resources/information-bulletins
