Back-to-school means e-bikes and e-scooters are as common as backpacks. A few smart habits can prevent battery fires and keep students safe.
- Only use the charger made for your device.
- Plug it directly into a wall outlet; don’t use extension cords or power strips.
- Charge it on a flat, dry surface away from anything that can catch fire.
- Keep batteries out of hallways, doorways and exits.
- Unplug when it is fully charged.
