Mitigating the Risks in Lithium-ion Battery Fires

Here are some practical steps to help you stay safe:

• Use the Right Batteries and Chargers: Always stick with manufacturer-recommended products. Cheap knock-offs can be risky.
• Keep Cool: Avoid exposing your devices to extreme heat or cold. Don’t leave them in your car on a hot day or out in the freezing cold.
• Inspect for Damage: Regularly inspect your devices and batteries for any signs of physical damage, such as swelling, punctures, or leaks. If you notice any issues, replace the battery or device as needed.
• Charge Safely: Charge devices on a non-flammable surface and avoid leaving them unattended, especially overnight.
• Store Properly: If you’re not using a battery for a while, store it in a cool, dry place with a partial charge (about 50%).
• Recycle Responsibly: Don’t just toss old batteries in the trash. Recycle them properly to avoid environmental harm.
• Be Prepared: Consider getting a Lith-Ex fire extinguisher. These are specifically designed to handle lithium-ion battery fires using a special agent that cools and contains the fire.
