Reference Information
• Use only Samsung-approved batteries and
re c h a rge your battery only with Samsung-appro v e d.
Do not leave the battery connected for more
than a week, since overcharging may shorten
Its life.
• Extreme temperatures will affect the charging
capacity of your battery: it may require cooling or
warming first.
• Do not leave the battery in hot or cold places, such
as in a car in summer or winter conditions, as you
will reduce the capacity and life-time of the
b a t t e ry. Always try to keep the battery at ro o m
t e m p e r a t u re. A phone with a hot or cold battery
may temporarily not work, even when the battery
is fully charged. Li-ion batteries are part i c u l a r l y
a ffected by temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F).
• Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental short
circuiting can occur when a metallic object (coin,
clip or pen) causes a direct connection between
the + and - terminals of the battery (metal strips
on the back of the battery), for example when
youcarry a spare battery in a pocket or bag.
Short-circuiting the terminals may damage the
battery or the object causing the short-circuit.
• Dispose of used batteries in accordance with local
regulations. Always recycle. Do not dispose of
batteries in a fire.
