Why It matters
Buy, Charge, & Recycle Smart
Lithium-ion batteries power nearly everything we use: phones and laptops, tools and toys, carts and e-bikes. When they’re charged the wrong way, damaged, or mismatched with the charger, they can overheat. The goal isn’t fear; it’s good habits. This hub gives homes, schools, and workplaces quick, printable guidance so people can use batteries with confidence—and reduce risk every day.
Three keys messages:
Buy Smart
- Choose listed products and power strips (look for recognized safety marks).
- Use OEM or manufacturer-approved chargers—avoid look-alike adapters.
- Retire damaged or swollen packs; don’t mix and match cells.
Charge Smart
- Charge on a hard, flat, uncovered surface—not on beds, pillows, sofas, or carpet.
- Keep cords tidy and low; no daisy-chains; one listed strip per outlet.
- Prefer waking hours; unplug when full; keep exits clear.
Recycle Smart
- Never put batteries in trash or single-stream recycling.
- Tape terminals on loose cells, bag them, and take them to a drop-off/HHW site.
- After water damage or impact, do not recharge—dispose properly.
