Use only approved batteries and recharge your battery only with approved chargers. When a charger is not
in use, disconnect it from the power source. Do not leave the battery connected to a charger 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 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).
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
you carry 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.
