Feels hot? Smells weird? Swelling? Hissing? STOP using it immediately. ⚠️🔥 #FPW2026

E‑bikes, scooters & power tools? Charge them outside when possible - and never block exits. 🚲🔌 #FPW2026

Fully charged = time to unplug. Overcharging can overheat batteries - give them a break! 🔋 #FPW2026

Charging on soft surfaces traps heat - and heat + batteries is a risky combo. Keep devices on a hard, flat surface like a table or desk so they can breathe while they power up. 🔥🔌 #FPW2026

Cheap charger? Hard pass. Use the cord and charger that came with your device - or one approved by the manufacturer. 🔌 #FPW2026
