Battery care and maintenance

Your Toshiba phone is powered by a rechargeable Lithium ion (Li-ion) battery.

The full performance of a new battery is achieved only after two or three complete charge and discharge cycles.

The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times, but it will eventually wear out. When the talk and standby times are noticeably shorter than normal, it is recommended that you buy a new battery.

A new battery, or one that has not been used for a long time, could have reduced capacity during initial use.

Do not leave the battery connected to the charger and power source for longer than necessary. This will result in repeated short charging, which will reduce battery performance and lifespan. Please disconnect the AC charger when the battery is full.

Do not leave the battery in areas of extreme cold or heat. This could affect the performance of the battery.

The battery has optimum performance in an ambient temperature of between +5 °C (+41 °F) and +35 °C (+95 °F).

Only remove the battery with the phone switched off.

Do not leave the battery empty or disconnected for a long time, as this may cause data to be reset.

If you are not going to use your phone for a long time, fully charge the battery, then switch off the phone. The phone should be stored in a dry place away from direct sunlight. Recharge the phone approximately every six months.

Avoid repeated short charging. It is preferable to let the battery go flat and then recharge it completely.
