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.
