•
If a battery does not charge or exhibits excessive charging time, it is possible that it
reached the end of its life and might need to be replaced.
•
All batteries degrade and lose charge capacity over time as a result of use or storage and
must eventually be replaced.
•
Batteries are best stored in a cool, dark, dry place. Avoid storage in direct sunlight and in
vehicles parked outdoors.
•
Batteries might get warm while charging and discharging. This is normal behavior for all
batteries.
•
Use the AC adapter and the USB cable that came with this device.
•
Use the latest firmware. Check for updates on a regular basis.
•
Device performance and runtime are affected by workload or usage. Higher workloads or
usage can lead to higher battery temperatures and faster battery power consumption.
•
Streaming large amounts of data affects the power consumption and reduces the
operating time of the battery.
General Battery Safety
Observe the following guidelines:
•
Stop using a battery if its case appears damaged, swollen, or compromised. Examples
include, but are not limited to, leaking, odors, dents, corrosion, rust, cracks, swelling,
melting, and scratches.
•
Do not expose batteries to fire or other heat generating environments.
•
Do not place the battery or the device in areas that might get hot. Examples include, but
are not limited to, on or near a space heater, cooking surface, cooking appliance, iron,
radiator, or fireplace.
•
Do not get the battery or the device wet. Even though it might dry and appear to operate
normally, the circuitry can slowly corrode and defeat its safety circuitry.
•
Do not crush, puncture, deform, or put a high degree of pressure on the battery, which
can cause an internal short circuit, resulting in overheating.
•
Avoid dropping the battery or the device. Dropping it, especially on a hard surface, might
cause damage to the battery and the device. If you suspect damage to the battery or the
device, replace it.
•
When the battery is outside the device, do not allow the battery to come in contact with
metal objects, such as coins, buttons, jewelry, or tools.
•
Do not disassemble or modify batteries. Do not use a battery for anything other than its
intended purpose.
