these recommended temperatures can pose a high risk of damage to the battery.
Provide adequate ventilation during proper use. Always ensure that the device has
adequate ventilation and air flow. Covering the device can significantly affect air flow,
may affect the performance of the device and poses a possible risk of fire or explosion,
which could lead to serious bodily injuries or damage to property.
Covering the device can trap any dissipating heat and redirect it back to the device
while it’s active. Although the device might not currently be in full use, background
applications and functions can generate heat that can accidentally be trapped when
covered.
Use proper care when using optional protective or battery cases. Cases can be useful
to help protect your device from damage or to provide additional battery storage.
When a device is enclosed within one of these protective charging cases, it might be
difficult for the device and battery to properly dissipate the heat that is being generated.
If the device begins to get hot or seems to have difficulty cooling down, please remove
the device from its external case and allow it to cool down before placing the case back
on. Do not handle a damaged or leaking battery.
Do not let leaking battery fluid come in contact with your eyes, skin or clothing.

Never use any charger, cable, or battery that is damaged in any way.
If your battery appears scratched, nicked, or smells odd (like burnt plastic or a chemical
smell), immediately place it aside and either dispose of it properly or call customer
service.
Warning: Use only Samsung approved batteries, and recharge your battery only
with Samsung approved chargers and cables which are specifically designed for
your device. Use of a non-Samsung approved battery, cable, or charger may
