🔌 Safe Charging Practices
✅ DO
- Use only manufacturer-approved chargers
- Charge on non-flammable surfaces
- Monitor charging progress
- Disconnect when fully charged
- Charge in well-ventilated areas
- Keep charging area clean and dry
- Use surge protectors when possible
❌ DON'T
- Leave batteries charging unattended overnight
- Use damaged or frayed charging cables
- Charge on beds, sofas, or fabric surfaces
- Overcharge beyond recommended time
- Charge in direct sunlight or heat
- Use fast chargers not designed for your device
- Charge wet or damaged batteries
🌡️ Temperature Guidelines
- Operating Temperature: 32°F to 95°F (0°C to 35°C)
- Charging Temperature: 50°F to 86°F (10°C to 30°C)
- Storage Temperature: 32°F to 77°F (0°C to 25°C)
- Danger Zone: Above 140°F (60°C)
Temperature Warning Signs:
- Device feels unusually hot during use or charging
- Battery compartment becomes warm to touch
- Device shuts down due to temperature protection
- Charging takes significantly longer than usual
⚠️ Danger Signs to Watch For
IMMEDIATE DANGER - Stop Use Immediately:
- Battery swelling or bulging
- Unusual odors (sweet, metallic, or chemical)
- Visible damage to battery or casing
- Excessive heat generation
- Leaking fluids from battery
- Device not responding to controls
- Sparking or unusual sounds
- Rapid battery drain
🔧 Proper Battery Maintenance
- Regular Cleaning: Wipe contacts with dry cloth monthly
- Inspect Regularly: Check for damage before each use
- Avoid Deep Discharge: Don't let battery drain completely
- Proper Storage: Store at 40-60% charge level
- Replace When Needed: Capacity drops below 80% of original
Modern lithium batteries don't require "memory" cycling. Partial charges are actually better for battery longevity.
📦 Storage & Transportation
Safe Storage Practices:
- Store in original packaging or protective cases
- Keep batteries at room temperature
- Avoid storing in vehicles or direct sunlight
- Store away from metal objects
- Maintain 40-60% charge for long-term storage
- Check stored batteries monthly
Transportation Guidelines:
- Carry batteries in carry-on luggage when flying
- Never check batteries in luggage
- Use battery cases to prevent short circuits
- Inform airline staff if required
- Follow local transportation regulations
♻️ Battery Disposal & Recycling
- Never Throw in Trash: Batteries are hazardous waste
- Use Recycling Centers: Find local e-waste facilities
- Retailer Take-Back: Many stores accept old batteries
- Discharge Safely: Use device until battery is depleted
- Tape Terminals: Cover positive and negative ends
Many electronics retailers and battery stores offer free battery recycling programs.
🚨 Emergency Procedures
If Battery Overheats or Swells:
- Turn off device immediately
- Remove battery if safely possible
- Move to well-ventilated area
- Do not touch with bare hands
- Contact emergency services if fire occurs
- Seek medical attention for burns or chemical exposure
Fire Safety:
- Use Class D fire extinguisher for lithium fires
- Never use water on electrical/battery fires
- Evacuate area if smoke is present
- Call fire department immediately
- Ventilate area after incident
