Charge Into Fire Safety for Fire Prevention Week. Don’t toss lithium-ion batteries or devices in the trash or regular recycling bins—they can start a fire. Drop them off at a legit battery recycling spot —it’s safer and way better for the planet. #firepreventionweek #sparky

Charge Into Fire Safety for Fire Prevention Week. Charge any lithium-ion battery device on a hard surface—never on your bed, couch, or under a pillow. And don’t overcharge. Once it’s at 100%, unplug and move on. #firepreventionweek #sparky #firesafety #batterysafety
