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 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 113º F (0º C to 45º 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 140º F (-20º C to 60º C)
More than one month:
4º F to 113º F (-20º C to 45º C)
Disposal of Lithium Ion (LiIon) Batteries For safe disposal
options of your LiIon batteries, contact your nearest Sprint-
authorized service center.
Be sure to dispose of your battery properly. In some
Special Note:
areas, the disposal of batteries in household or business trash may
be prohibited.
