• 

Do not use incompatible cell phone batteries and chargers. 

Some Web sites and second-hand dealers, not associated with 
reputable manufacturers and carriers, might be selling 
incompatible or even counterfeit batteries and chargers. 
Consumers should purchase manufacturer or carrier 
recommended products and accessories. If unsure about 
whether a replacement battery or charger is compatible, 
contact the manufacturer of the battery or charger. 

• 

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 lifetime 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-ion batteries are particularly affected by temperatures below 
0 °C (32 °F).

• 

Do not place the phone in areas that may get very hot, such as 

on or near a cooking surface, cooking appliance, iron, or 
radiator. 

• 

Do not get your phone or battery wet. Even though they will dry 

and appear to operate normally, the circuitry could slowly 
corrode and pose a safety hazard. 

• 

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 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-circuiting.

• 

Do not permit a battery out of the phone to come in contact with 

metal objects, such as coins, keys or jewelry. 

• 

Do not crush, puncture or put a high degree of pressure on the 

battery as this can cause an internal short-circuit, resulting in 
overheating.
