Caring for the Battery
Protecting Your Battery
The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your bat-
tery’s performance.
Recently there have been some public reports of phone batteries
overheating, catching re or exploding. It appears that many, if not
all, of these reports involve counterfeit or inexpensive, aftermarket-
brand batteries with unknown or questionable manufacturing
standards. Use only Ericsson-LG approved batteries and acces-
sories.
In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in temperatures
that range from 32° F to 113° F (0° C to 50° C).
Do not use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in high humid-
ity areas, such as the bathroom.
Never dispose of the battery by incineration.
Keep the metal contacts on top of the battery clean.
Do not 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 is best to replace the battery when it no longer provides accept-
able performance. It can be recharged hundreds of times before it
needs replacing.
Do not store the battery in high temperature areas for long periods
of time. It is best to follow these storage rules:
- Less than one month: -4° F to 113° F (-20° C to 40° C).
- More than one month: -4° F to 113° F (-20° C to 45° C).
Disposal of Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) Batteries
Do not handle a damaged or leaking Li-Ion battery as you can be
burned.
For safe disposal options of your Li-Ion batteries, contact your near-
est Ericsson-LG authorized service center.
Special Note
Be sure to dispose of your battery properly. In some areas, the dis-
posal of batteries in household or business trash may be prohibited.
