POST-STORM EV AND LITHIUM-ION BATTERY SAFETY

Floodwater, especially saltwater, can damage electric vehicle (EV) and lithium-ion batteries, creating a fire hazard that may not appear immediately. Damaged batteries can overheat, release toxic gases, ignite, or explode hours, days, weeks, or months after a storm.

Please take the following precautions:
• Store Batteries Above Potential Flood Levels: Keep batteries and battery-powered equipment in a dry, elevated location where stormwater cannot reach them. Follow the manufacturer's storage recommendations, or contact them with any questions regarding the product.
• Do Not Charge or Use Water-Damaged Equipment: Never charge or turn on an e-bike, scooter, power tool, or other battery-powered device exposed to floodwater. Do not drive a flooded EV.
• Recognize Warning Signs and Keep Your Distance: Swelling, excessive heat, unusual chemical odors, leaking fluid, hissing, popping, or smoke may indicate battery damage. Do not bring water-damaged batteries or equipment indoors. Only move a battery outdoors if it is cool and safe to handle. If you see smoke, sparking, or fire, evacuate the area and call 911.
• Dispose of Damaged Batteries Properly: Never place lithium-ion batteries in household trash or recycling bins. For disposal information, visit the link in bio. Do not transport a damaged battery unless it is safe to do so.

Remember: A battery can remain hazardous even after it dries out. Protect batteries from floodwaters before a storm and treat any water-damaged battery as a potential fire risk.
