Keeping your battery charged
Your BlackBerry device uses a lithium-ion battery. To maximize your use of this type of battery, when possible, do the
following:
• Avoid using your device while it's charging to help it charge faster.
• Charge your device often, even when the battery charge isn't low.
• Avoid charging, using, or storing your device in extremely hot or cold places, such as on a vehicle dashboard.
• Avoid leaving your device turned off with a low battery power level for an extended period of time.
• If your device has a removable battery and you aren't using your device for more than a few days, partially charge the
battery. You can then remove the battery and store it in a dry place at room temperature to conserve battery power.
