Lithium ion batteries and fires
- can pose an increased risk of fire if not used appropriately.
- don’t use extension cords, charge directly into an outlet.
- charging in the house near flammable materials increases your risk.
- if able, outside, away from structures is best.
Since 2024, @Toronto_Fire has responded to over 100 fires caused by lithium-ion batteries. In many of these cases there had been attempts to modify or extend the battery's life.
Don’t put your safety at risk, never tamper with or modify your battery.
