Charging And Discharging - Vertu Signature RHV-2 Reference Manual

BATTERY
Never dispose of batteries in a fire.
Always dispose of batteries according to local
regulations. Please recycle when possible. Do not
dispose of batteries as household waste.
Your Vertu phone is powered by a rechargeable
battery. The full performance of a new battery is
achieved only after two or three complete charge
and discharge cycles. The battery can be charged
and discharged hundreds of times but it will
eventually wear out. If you notice that the talk and
stand-by times are much shorter than normal, you
may need a new battery. Contact Vertu Concierge
to obtain a Vertu approved battery. Use only Vertu
approved batteries and recharge your battery
using only the Vertu approved chargers designed
for your Vertu phone.

Charging and discharging

Unplug the charger from the AC outlet and your
Vertu phone when not in use. Do not leave your
Vertu phone connected to a charger. The battery
does not have to be completely discharged before
.
you can recharge it Overcharging the battery may
shorten its lifetime. If left unused, a fully charged
battery will lose its charge over time. Temperature
extremes can affect the ability of your battery to
charge.
Battery care and safety
Use the battery only for its intended purpose.
Never use any charger or battery that is damaged.
Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental short-
circuiting can occur when a metallic object such as
a coin, clip, or pen causes direct connection of the
positive (+) and negative (-) terminals of the battery
(the metal strips on the battery.) This might
happen, for example, when you carry a spare
battery in your pocket, purse or bag. Short-
circuiting the terminals may damage the battery
and the connecting object.
Leaving the battery in hot or cold places, such as in
a closed car in summer or winter conditions, will
reduce the capacity and lifetime of the battery.
Always try to keep the battery between 15°C and
25°C (59°F and 77°F). If your battery is very hot or
extremely cold, your Vertu phone may not work
temporarily, even if the battery is fully charged.
Battery performance is particularly limited in
temperatures well below freezing.
