| General Safety Practices
Purchase Certified Products: Only use devices and batteries that have a certification mark from a nationally recognized testing laboratory like UL, ETL, or CSA.
Follow Manufacturer Instructions: Adhere strictly to the manufacturer's guidelines for charging, use, and maintenance.
Use Correct Chargers: Always use the charger and power adapter that came with the device, or an approved replacement from the manufacturer. Avoid generic or incompatible accessories.
Handle with Care: Do not crush, puncture, or expose batteries to water. Have all repairs performed by qualified professionals.
Safe Charging Charging is the most critical time for battery safety. Monitor Charging: Unplug devices or remove batteries once they are fully charged; do not overcharge them or leave them unattended overnight.
Choose Safe Locations: Charge on a hard, stable, non-flammable surface, such as a concrete floor. Never charge on a bed, couch, or pillow. Ensure the charging location does not block exit routes or fire escapes. Keep charging devices away from flammable materials and out of direct sunlight.
Avoid Overloading Outlets: Plug chargers directly into a wall outlet. Do not use multi-plug adapters or extension cords, as this can lead to overheating |
