Battery care and safety
Keep the battery in a cool, ventilated place and out of direct
sunlight.
Although the battery is rechargeable, it’ll eventually start to
lose its ability to recharge. If you find that the battery won’t
recharge, it’s time to replace it.
Please don’t throw old batteries into your household rubbish.
You’ll find there are special bins for batteries at refuse
collection points. And some high street electrical stores
provide a battery recycling service too.
Never throw the battery into a fire
– it’s highly inflammable
and could explode, hurting you or somebody else.
When you put the battery into your phone, there’s no need
to use force. Exerting too much pressure could make it leak,
overheat, explode or burst into flame.
Never take the battery apart. This may result in leakage,
overheating, explosion or fire.
If the battery becomes hot, changes colour or shape at any
time (when in use, charging or even while in storage) please
stop using it immediately and replace.
Keep the battery dry. Damp or wet conditions can cause it
to overheat or corrode.
Don’t leave the battery in direct sunlight or anywhere really
hot, like in a car on a summer’s day. That could make it leak
or overheat, while lowering its performance and shortening
its life.
