Lithium ion batteries supply  power to many  kinds of devices including smart phones, laptops,  scooters,  e-cigarettes,  smoke alarms,  toys,  and even cars. Take care  when using them. In rare cases,  they  can cause a fire or explosion.

THE PROBLEM

2🔹Sometimes batteries are not used the right  way; batteries not designed for a specific use can be dangerous. 
3🔸Like any product, a small number of these batteries are defective. They  can overheat, catch fire,  or explode. 


SAFETY  TIPS.
1🔹Purchase and use devices that are listed by  a qualified testing laboratory.
2🔸Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions. 
3🔹Only use the battery  that is designed for the device. 
4🔸Put batteries in the device the right  way. 
5🔹Only use the charging cord that came  with the device. 8Do not charge a device under  your pillow, on  your bed or on a couch. 
6🔸Keep batteries at room temperature. • Do not place batteries in direct sunlight or keep them in hot vehicles.  
7🔹Store batteries away  from anything that can catch fire.
