Lithium-ion batteries are starting to become more and more common in a lot of the household appliances and devices that we use from day-to-day. Phones, tablets, laptops, computers, power banks, chargers, toys, appliances, power tools, electric toothbrushes, vaping devices, solar energy storage systems, and electric bikes and scooters are just some of the devices in which we commonly see these types of batteries being used.

Although these types of batteries have a number of advantages, including that they are compact, lightweight, efficient, and powerful, they also come with a crucial need for safe storage. Lithium-ion batteries can overheat, catch fire, or explode if they are not stored and handled properly, which can result in property damage, injury, and even death. For this reason, it is important that users of lithium-ion batteries understand how to properly handle and store these kinds of batteries to reduce the risk of fire.
