Caring for the Battery
Protecting Your Battery
The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your battery‟s performance.
● Recently there have been some public reports of wireless phone batteries overheating,
catching fire or exploding. It appears that many, if not all, of these reports involve counterfeit
or inexpensive, aftermarket-brand batteries with unknown or questionable manufacturing
standards. Boost is not aware of similar problems with Boost phones resulting from the
proper use of batteries and accessories approved by the manufacturer of your phone. Use
only manufacturer-approved batteries and accessories throu
gh your phone‟s manufacturer.
Buying the right batteries and accessories is the best way to ensure they‟re genuine and
safe.
● Do not disassemble or open crush, bend or deform, puncture or shred the battery.
● Do not modify or remanufacture, attempt to insert foreign objects into the battery, immerse
or expose to water or other liquids, expose to fire, explosion or other hazard.
● Avoid dropping the phone or battery. If the phone or battery is dropped, especially on a hard
surface, and the user suspects damage, take it to a service center for inspection.
● Improper battery use may result in a fire, explosion or other hazard.
● Do not short circuit a battery or allow metallic conductive objects to contact battery terminals.
● Keep the metal contacts on top of the battery clean.
● Battery usage by children should be supervised.
Charging
● In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in temperatures that range from 32°F to
113°F (0°C to 45°C).
