Battery Standby and Talk Time

Standby and talk times will vary depending on phone usage patterns and
conditions. Battery power consumption depends on factors such as
network configuration, signal strength, operating temperature, features
selected, frequency of calls, and voice, data, and other application usage
patterns.

Battery Precautions

•
Never use any charger or battery that is damaged in any way.
•
Use the battery only for its intended purpose.
•
If you use the phone near the network's base station, it uses less
power; talk and standby time are greatly affected by the signal
strength on the cellular network and the parameters set by the
network operator.
•
Battery charging time depends on the remaining battery charge and
the type of battery and charger used. The battery can be charged
and discharged hundreds of times, but it will gradually wear out.
When the operation time (talk time and standby time) is noticeably
shorter than normal, it is time to buy a new battery.
•
If left unused, a fully charged battery will discharge itself over time.
•
Use only Samsung-approved batteries and recharge your battery
only with Samsung-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.
