Caring for the Battery
Protecting Your Battery
The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your
battery's performance.
•
Recently there have been some public reports of wireless phone
batteries overheating, catching fire, or exploding. It appears that
many, if not all, of these reports involve counterfeit or inexpensive,
aftermarket-brand batteries with unknown or questionable
manufacturing standards. Sprint is not aware of similar problems
with Sprint phones resulting from the proper use of batteries
and accessories approved by Sprint or the manufacturer of your
phone. Use only Sprint-approved or manufacturer-approved
batteries and accessories found at Sprint Stores or through
your phone's manufacturer, or call 1-866-866-7509 to order.
They're also available at sprint.com/accessories . Buying the
right batteries and accessories is the best way to ensure they're
genuine and safe.
•
In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in temperatures
that range from 32° F to 113° F (0° C to 45° C).
•
Don't use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in high humidity
areas, such as the bathroom.
•
Never dispose of the battery by incineration.
•
Keep the metal contacts on top of the battery clean.
•
Don't attempt to disassemble or short-circuit the battery.
•
The battery may need recharging if it has not been used for a long
period of time.
•
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.
