Caring for the battery
Protecting your battery
The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your battery’s
performance.
• Use only Samsung-approved batteries and adaptors. These adaptors are
designed to maximize battery life. Using other batteries or adaptors 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 adaptor 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)
