When batteries age, overheat, or get crushed, they can spark deadly fires—in your home, or local recycling facility. It only takes one to cause a dangerous explosion.

But you can prevent it.

Take proper safety precautions, and when it’s time to dispose of your batteries, never throw them in the trash or recycling bin, always turn them in.
