We're sharing tips every day this week in honor of Fire Prevention Week to spread the word that everyday actions can help prevent lithium-ion battery fires! Today’s safe charging tip: When charging on a plane, keep portable charging devices on the tray table. Do not charge devices in overhead compartments and never charge e-cigarettes or vapes on a plane. If a battery overheats or fails, it is important for the flight crew to be able to respond quickly. #FirePreventionWeek #ChargingSuperpower #TravelSafety
