I have been thinking about fire safety at my house recently. Like many of us, I have several devices that use lithium-ion batteries and I do understand that these batteries can pose a fire risk. While I do try to be safe at home, I appreciate that the Ocean County Fire Marshall shared about the dangers of lithium-ion batteries and how to be safe. I thought I'd share three slides with you from their October 10th Facebook post.
Of the items listed in this slide I admit that I did not think about my cordless vacuum cleaner and a couple of power tools in my garage. I admit to needing to be more careful to not leave my cordless vacuum plugged in.
Regarding the next two slides, I learned something about how lithium-ion batteries work and about thermal runaway.
