Caring for the Battery
Protecting Your Battery
The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your battery’s
performance.
Use only Sprint-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. 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)
More than one month:
4º F to 113º F (-20º C to 45º C)
Disposal of Lithium Ion (LiIon) Batteries
For safe disposal options of your LiIon batteries, contact your nearest
Sprint authorized service center.
Special Note:
Be sure to dispose of your battery properly. In some
areas, the disposal of batteries in household or business trash may be
prohibited.
Note:
For safety, do not handle a damaged or leaking LiIon battery.
