This is a RC Plane Charger

How many of us just casually put a battery on a charger and walk away?

Do you head the warnings when plugging in any device? There is a reason they attach the warning label to the charging cord or the battery directly. Always read the safety instructions and warnings before using or charging batteries.

Sometimes a charging battery can cause a fire. They can often explode causing a lot of damage. This customer plugged a RC Plane battery in to charge. The battery caught fire in his garage causing a complete meltdown of the battery and surrounding area. The garage was heavily smoke damaged and some of the wiring had to be replaced.

Most items you purchase come with a label, make sure to read any guidelines and follow them. You can also unplug unused items to keep your home safe.
