• 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
lifetime of the battery. Always try
to keep the battery at room
temperature. A phone with a hot
or cold battery may temporarily
not work, even when the battery is
fully charged. Li-ion batteries are
particularly affected 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 battery), for example
when you carry a spare battery in
a pocket or bag. Short-circuiting
the terminals may damage the
battery or the object causing the
short-circuiting.
• Dispose of used batteries in
accordance with local regulations.
In some areas, the disposal of
batteries in household or business
trash may be prohibited. For safe
disposal options for Li-Ion
batteries, contact your nearest
Samsung authorized service
center. Always recycle. Do not
dispose of batteries in a fire.
