Often overlooked, however, is the simple fact that batteries can be a hidden household hazard.
If improperly installed, charged, stored, used, damaged, or disposed of, some batteries can catch fire or explode, putting your family and others at risk. If swallowed, button and coin batteries can cause injuries and death.
Also often overlooked are the recycling opportunities for batteries - particularly rechargeable batteries including the most popular rechargeable - lithium-ion batteries.
