Caring for the Battery
Protecting Your Battery
The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your battery’s performance.
l
Use only Sprint -approved batteries and desktop chargers. These chargers are
designed to maximize battery life. Using other batteries or chargers voids your
warranty and may cause damage.
l
In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in temperatures that range from
32ºF to 113º F (0º C to 45º C).
l
Don’t use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in high humidity areas, such as the
bathroom.
l
Never dispose of the battery by incineration.
l
Keep the metal contacts on top of the battery clean.
l
Don’t attempt to disassemble or short-circuit the battery.
l
The battery may need recharging if it has not been used for a long period of time.
l
It’s best to replace the battery when it no longer provides acceptable performance. It
can be recharged hundreds of times before it needs replacing.
l
Don’t store the battery in high temperature areas for long periods of time. It’s best to
follow these storage rules:
Less than one month: 4º F to 140º F (-20º C to 60º C)
More than one month: 4º F to 113º F (-20º C to 45º C)
Disposal of Lithium Ion (LiIon) Batteries
For safe disposal options of your LiIon batteries, contact your nearest Sprint -authorized
service center.
Special note
: Be sure to dispose of your battery properly. In some areas, the disposal of
batteries in household or business trash may be prohibited.
Note: For safety, do not handle a damaged or leaking LiIon battery.
