About Course
Phones, tablets, laptops and e-readers run on lithium-ion batteries, which are safe when looked after but can overheat or catch fire if damaged or charged badly. This course uses London Fire Brigade advice to explain safe chargers, where and when to charge, and what to do if a battery swells, gets very hot or smokes.
