Things You Should Never Store Under Your Kitchen Sink

3. Batteries

Loose or old batteries should never live under your sink.

In damp conditions, batteries can:

  • Corrode
  • Leak chemicals
  • Overheat
  • Short-circuit

Lithium and rechargeable batteries carry an even higher fire risk if damaged.

Tip: Store spare batteries in a cool, dry drawer and recycle old ones properly.
