For best battery performance, you should follow these
guidelines:

Use your battery for its intended purpose only.

Only use Samsung-approved batteries and desktop
chargers. These chargers are designed to maximize battery
life. Using other batteries or chargers will invalidate your
warranty and may cause damage as well.

You must never use a battery charger that is damaged in
any way or worn out.

To avoid damage, only charge the battery in temperatures
that range from 32° F to 104° F.

Do not use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in high
humidity areas (such as a bathroom).

When a battery charger is not in use, disconnect it from
the power source.

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.

You may need to recharge the battery if it has not been
used for a long period of time.

Replace the battery when it no longer provides acceptable
performance. It can be charged hundreds of times before it
will need to be replaced.

Do not allow metal objects or liquids to contact or short-
circuit the battery terminals, as injuries or burns may
result.

To avoid damage, store the battery in temperatures ranging
from -4° F to 185° F, and avoid leaving the battery unused
for very long periods. Follow these storage rules:

Less than one month:
-4° F to 140° F (-20° C to 50° C)

More than one month:
-4° F to 113° F (-20° C to 35° C)
