🔋 Lithium-Ion Battery Safety Tips for E-Bike Users This Summer

As temperatures rise and more riders hit the road, it’s essential to remember that lithium-ion batteries, while powerful and efficient, must be used responsibly to avoid serious hazards. At YOSE Power, your safety is our priority. That’s why we’re sharing these important battery safety tips based on guidance from the FDNY and NYC Consumer Protection agencies.

✅ DO: Use Batteries Safely

• Charge and store batteries outdoors when possible, away from flammable materials.

• Always follow the manufacturer’s charging and storage instructions.

• Use only the original charger and battery made specifically for your device.

• Plug the charger directly into a wall outlet—avoid extension cords.

• Keep an eye out for odor, leaking, discoloration, shape changes, or odd noises.

  If you notice any of these, stop use immediately. Move the device to a safe area and call 911 if needed.

• Recycle used batteries properly via special drop-off locations. Visit: nyc.gov/batteries

❌ DON’T: Avoid These Dangerous Mistakes

• Do NOT buy or sell batteries that are not UL-certified. Always look for trusted safety certification.

• Do NOT use third-party or off-brand batteries not designed for your specific device.

• Do NOT charge devices near exits, doors, windows, or especially in bedrooms.

• Do NOT place batteries on soft surfaces like beds or sofas while charging.

• Do NOT charge in direct sunlight or in extreme temperatures (too hot or cold).

• Do NOT use extension cords when charging.

Why It Matters

Lithium-ion batteries power much of our daily lives—from phones and tools to e-bikes and scooters. But when handled improperly, they can overheat, catch fire, or even explode. That’s why safety isn’t just a recommendation—it’s a responsibility.
