Caring for the battery

General safety guidelines
√ Do not disassemble or open the battery.
√ Do not crush, bend, deform, puncture, or
shred the battery.
√ Do not attempt to insert foreign objects into
the battery.
√ Do not immerse the battery or expose it to
water or other liquids. Even if a battery
appears to dry out and operate normally,
internal parts can slowly corrode and pose a
safety hazard.
√ Always keep the battery between 15°C and
25°C (59°F and 77°F). Do not expose the
battery to extremes of temperature, fire, or
other hazards such as a cooking surface, iron,
or radiator.
√ Never use any damaged battery.
√ Only use the battery for its intended phone.
√ Only use the battery with a qualified charger.
Use of an unqualified battery charger may
present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage, or
other hazard. If you are unsure about whether
a charger is qualified, contact customer
support.
√ Do not short-circuit the battery or allow
metallic conductive objects—such as keys,
coins, or jewelry—to contact the
battery's terminals.

√ Replace the battery only with another qualified
battery. Use of an unqualified battery may
present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage, or
other hazard. If you are unsure about whether
a replacement battery is compatible, contact
customer support.

accordance with local regulations and recycle
if possible. Do not dispose as household waste.

explosion, or other hazard.
