Lithium-Ion Batteries: How to Charge and Where to Store: Electrical Safety Foundation

E-bikes and scooters, powered by lithium-ion batteries, enhance our lives, but with such convenience comes responsibility. When it’s time to charge, choose a flat, dry area away from children, sunlight — and most importantly, not near entrances where a fire could block an escape route. Always use a manufacturer-approved charger and avoid adapters when charging. Be aware of the device when charging. Never leave them charging unattended, especially overnight. Safety is smart. Prevention is power.
