Using the Batteries

Use only Samsung-approved batteries and recharge your battery only with Samsung-approved chargers. When a charger is not in use, disconnect it from the power source. Do not leave the battery connected to a charger for more than a week, since overcharging may shorten its life.

Extreme temperatures will affect the charging capacity of your battery: it may require cooling or warming first.

Do not leave the battery in hot or cold places, such as in a car in summer or winter conditions, as you will reduce the capacity and life-time of the battery. Always try to keep the battery at room temperature. A phone with a hot or cold battery may temporarily not work, even when the battery is fully charged. Li-lon batteries are particularly affected by temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F).

Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental short circuiting can occur when a metallic object (coin, clip or pen) causes a direct connection between the + and - terminals of the battery (metal strips on the back of the battery), for example when you carry a spare battery in a pocket or bag. Short-circuiting the terminals may damage the battery or the object causing the short-circuit.

Dispose of used batteries in accordance with local regulations. Always recycle. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire.
