Battery care and safety
Keep the battery in a cool, ventilated place
and out of direct sunlight.
Although the battery is rechargeable, it’ll
eventually start to lose its ability to recharge.
If you find that the battery won’t recharge,
it’s time to replace it.
Please don’t throw old batteries into your
household rubbish. You’ll find there are
special bins for batteries at refuse collection
points. And some high street electrical
stores provide a battery recycling service
too.
Never throw the battery into a fire – it’s
highly inflammable and could explode,
hurting you or somebody else.
When you put the battery into your phone,
there’s no need to use force. Exerting too
much pressure could make it leak, overheat,
explode or burst into flame.
Never take the battery apart. This may
result in leakage, overheating, explosion or
fire.
If the battery becomes hot, changes colour
or shape at any time (when in use, charging
or even while in storage) please stop using
it immediately and replace.
Keep the battery dry. Damp or wet
conditions can cause it to overheat or
corrode.
