Caring for the Battery
Use only Samsung-approved batteries, desktop and travel
chargers. These chargers maximize battery life and
performance. Using other batteries or chargers may invalidate
your phone / battery warranty and may damage the battery.
For proper battery care, please follow these guidelines:
• To avoid damage, charge the battery in temperatures
that range from 32° F to 104° F (0° C to 40° C).
• Do not use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in
high humidity areas (such as a bathroom).
• Never dispose of the battery by incineration (fire).
• Keep the metal contacts at the battery base clean.
• Do not attempt to disassemble or short-circuit the
battery, as injuries or burns may result.
• Replace the battery when it no longer provides
acceptable performance.
• To avoid injuries / burns, do not allow metal objects or
liquids to contact or short-circuit the battery terminals.
• To avoid damage, avoid storing the battery for long
periods of time, and store the battery in temperatures
ranging from -4° F to 140° F (-20° C to 60° C).
