Caring for the Battery

Protecting your Battery
The guidelines listed below help you get the
most out of your battery's performance.
Use only Sprint-approved batteries and
travel charger, cigarette lighter adapter, and
desktop chargers. These chargers are
designed to maximize battery life. Using
other batteries or chargers voids your
warranty and may cause damage.
In order to avoid damage, charge the
battery only in temperatures that range
from 32º F to 104º F (0º C to 40º 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.
Don't store the battery in high
temperature areas for long periods of time.
It's best to follow these storage rules:
Less than one month:
-4º F to 131º F (-20º C to 55º C)
More than one month:
-4º F to 95º F (-20º C to 35º C)
