A Special Message from Santa to All the Boys and Girls (and their Parents) About Your Toys with Lithium Batteries 

Ho, ho, ho! Merry Christmas, boys and girls!

I hope you’re all having a wonderful holiday season filled with joy, laughter, and excitement. The elves and I have been working around the clock to ensure that you all receive the perfect presents this year. As you eagerly unwrap your gifts on Christmas morning, I want to take a moment to remind you about something very important—your toys with lithium batteries.

Many of the toys and gadgets you receive this year, like remote-controlled cars, drones, or even some of the coolest gadgets, come with special batteries called lithium-ion batteries. These powerful batteries help your toys run for a long time but must be handled carefully to keep them working safely.

Here are a few essential tips to remember:

  1. Charge Safely: Always charge your toys using the charger that comes with them. Never use a charger from another toy or device, and never leave your toy charging unattended for too long. It’s important to plug them in only when needed and unplug them once fully charged.
  2. Don’t Overcharge: Even though your toy might have a long battery life, it’s best to avoid charging it for more than the recommended time. This will help keep the battery in top shape for future adventures.
  3. Handle with Care: Just like you take good care of your toys, you should also take care of the batteries. Don’t drop or smash your toys, and store them in a safe, dry place away from any heat sources. This helps the battery last longer and keeps everyone safe.
  4. Proper Disposal: When your toys stop working or the batteries start to wear out, don’t throw them in the regular trash. Take them to a recycling center that can safely dispose of the batteries. This way, we can keep everyone’s environment safe!

I know you’re all excited to play with your new toys, and I’m so glad to bring them to you. But remember, safety comes first! You can enjoy your toys with lithium batteries for many fun-filled months with just a little care and attention.

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Keep being good, kind, and careful, and I’ll be back next year to deliver even more wonderful surprises.

Ho, ho, ho! 🎅🎄

With love,

Santa Claus
