Battery Safety

Lithium-ion batteries are increasingly found in devices and systems that we use or interact with almost every day. While these batteries provide an effective and efficient source of power, they can catch fire or explode if exposed to conditions like overheating, overcharging, physical damage or short circuits.  And the fires they spark release toxic gases.  While generally safe when used properly, these batteries require careful handling, storage, and disposal to prevent accidents.
