Battery Safety

Electric mobility devices like e-bikes and e-scooters can be a fire hazard if not charged or stored correctly. CU's Residence Life does not allow motorized vehicles to be taken into, or stored in, any buildings due to the potential for fire/explosions, and for the electrical load/capacity in CU facilities.听When charging at home, or in spaces designated for bicycle or mobility device storage, follow the manufacturer and Consumer Product Safety Commission recommendations:

  • Use only the charger that comes with the vehicle
  • Never charge overnight
  • Never leave a charging vehicle unattended
  • Do not charge or store on or near flammable materials
  • Have working fire extinguishers and smoke alarms in the charging area
