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

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.
