Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the battery.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside.

Proper Care and Storage of Your Battery
The battery will provide better service
and longer performance if you refresh it
before charging and store it at normal
room temperature.
Do not operate the battery at temperatures
below 14°F (–10°C) or above 95°F
(35°C). The battery may be damaged if
operated at temperatures above 122°F
(50°C). Operation time will decrease at
extremely low temperatures.
After repeated chargings and use, the
operation time will gradually decrease.
When operation time becomes too short
to be useful, it is time to replace the
battery.
Charge the battery at a temperature of
32°F-95°F (0°C-35°C) to prevent
damage.
