Lithium Battery Safety

Lithium-ion batteries power countless devices in our homes and workplaces. They can be found in cell phones, tablets, laptops, toothbrushes, electric bikes, and electric scooters, along with other regularly used devices. When purchased and used correctly, lithium-ion batteries are safe, but there is a risk of fire and injury if uncertified batteries or chargers are used.

ESF and the Recycled Materials Association are educating consumers about the importance of recycling lithium-ion batteries at the end of their lifecycle.
