Lithium batteries 🔋

Important information to check health of your batteries !

Lithium batteries power many of our everyday devices, from phones to chargers to scooters. According to Fire and Rescue NSW, lithium-ion batteries are the fastest growing fire risk in NSW.

So, here’s a quick checklist of what to look out for:
✅ Swelling, bulging, or leaking of batteries
✅ Overheating, vapours, or smoke
✅ Exposure to water or being wet
✅ Cracks, dents, punctures, or crushing
✅ Any contact with fire

If you notice these signs, stop using the battery at once, place in a clear plastic bag and take it to a community recycling centre or a household chemical cleanout event.
