Your try-it-at-home checklist

0 / 6 done

1. Identify the exact battery, charger and device model and check applicable certification and manufacturer charging instructions.
2. Use only the supplied charger or a manufacturer-approved compatible replacement. Avoid universal chargers and modified battery packs.
3. Charge where a person can monitor the device. Keep exits and escape paths unobstructed and avoid nearby combustibles.
4. Do not charge while asleep or away from home. Disconnect charging as directed when complete.
5. Stop using swelling, damaged or unusually hot batteries. If there is smoke or fire, leave the area and call emergency services rather than handling the pack.
6. Never place lithium batteries in ordinary trash or regular recycling bins. Follow local guidance for safe battery collection, especially for damaged packs.
