Prevention & Safety
Emergency Management
Fire Prevention Week 2025
This year's theme is Charge into Fire Safety™ Lithium-Ion Batteries in Your Home © NFPA 2025
Lithium-ion batteries supply power to many kinds of devices we use every day. These batteries store a large amount of energy. If not used correctly, or if damaged, these batteries can catch on fire or explode.
Safety Tips
• Use devices and accessories listed by a nationally recognized testing laboratory.
• Use the battery designed for the device and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Store batteries away from anything that can catch fire. Do not charge a device under your pillow, on your bed, or on a couch.
• Do not keep charging the device or device battery after it is fully charged.
• Keep batteries at room temperature when possible. Do not charge them at temperatures below 0°C or above 40°C.
• For e-bikes, charge your battery in a flat, dry area away from children, direct sunlight, liquids, tripping hazards, and in a location where the e-bike is not at risk of falling.
• Stop using batteries if you notice these problems: odour, change in colour, too much heat, change in shape, leaking, or odd noises.
• Don’t throw lithium-ion batteries in the trash or regular recycling bins. Batteries can be safely recycled at our Chester Municipal Office, Adam’s Bottle Exchange in Western Shore and at our Kaizer Meadow Landfill. Call 902-275-2330 for more information.
