The battery icon is empty

Your battery is low. Recharge or replace the battery.

The battery does not charge properly (For Samsung-approved
chargers)

Ensure that the charger is connected properly.

turn off. Wipe both gold-coloured contacts and try charging the battery again.

The batteries in some devices are not user-replaceable. To have the battery replaced, visit
a Samsung Service Centre.

The battery depletes faster than when first purchased
