Protecting Your Battery
The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your
battery’s performance.
䊳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.

that range from 32º F to 113º F (0º C to 45º C).

areas, such as the bathroom.

䊳Keep the metal contacts on top of the battery clean.
䊳Don’t attempt to disassemble or short-circuit the battery.

period of time.
䊳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.

time. It’s best to follow these storage rules:
