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 adaptors. These adaptors
are designed to maximize battery life. Using other batteries or
adaptors could void 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 adaptor 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. It 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)
