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.

Charge large items like ebikes, scooters, & power tools outside when possible. Do not block exits when charging. These batteries store more energy, & fires can grow quickly if they fail. For more info: fpw.org #firepreventionweek #sparky #firesafety #batterysafety
