Temperature extremes affect the ability of your battery to charge: it may require cooling or warming first.

Do not short circuit the battery. Accidental short cir- cuiting can occur when a metallic object (e.g. coin, clip, or pen) causes direct connection of the + and - terminals of the battery (metal strips on the back of the battery), for example when you carry a spare bat- tery in your pocket or purse. Short circuiting the termi- nal may damage the battery or the connecting object.

Use the battery only for its intended purpose.

Never use any charger or battery that is damaged or worn out.

Leaving the battery in hot or cold places, such as in a closed car in summer or winter conditions, reduces the capacity and lifetime of the battery. Always try to keep the battery between 59°F and 77°F (15°C and 25°C). A phone with a hot or cold battery may tempo- rarily not work, even if the battery is fully charged. NiMH battery performance is particularly limited in temperatures below 14°F (-10°C).

The battery is a sealed unit with no serviceable parts. Do not attempt to open the case.

Do not dispose of a battery in a fire! Dispose of used batteries in accordance with local regulations. Recycle!
