The Charged for LiFE campaign is broken down into four main components:
- Batteries - Only purchase certified batteries and continuously monitor the battery health.
- Charging - Lithium-ion batteries can be a fire hazard when improperly charged.
- Tampering - Never attempt to modify, tamper with, or build your own lithium-ion batteries.
- Disposal - Lithium-ion batteries are household hazardous waste and should never be placed in the garbage.
More information about the campaign can be found at www.chargedforlife.ca/.
