Caring for the Battery
Protecting Your Battery
The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your battery’s
performance.
•
Use only Samsung 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. When used correctly, the battery 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)
