Caring for the Battery
Protecting Your Battery
The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your battery’s performance.
䢇 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.
䢇 In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in temperatures that range from 32º F
to 113º F (0º C to 45º C).
䢇 Don’t use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in high humidity areas, such as the
bathroom.
䢇 Never dispose of the battery by incineration.
䢇 Keep the metal contacts on top of the battery clean.
䢇 Don’t attempt to disassemble or short-circuit the battery.
䢇 The battery may need recharging if it has not been used for a long period of time.
䢇 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.
䢇 Don’t store the battery in high temperature areas for long periods of time. It’s best to
follow these storage rules:
䡲 Less than one month:
-4º F to 140º F (-20º C to 60º C)
䡲 More than one month:
-4º F to 113º F (-20º C to 45º C)
