Tips and Safety Guidelines for 
Lithium-Ion Batteries
Battery Tips
Charge batteries in a room-temperature environment, which is generally between 68° F 
and 79° F (20° C and 26° C). Charging may be temporarily disabled if the battery 
temperature exceeds 113° F (60° C).
If a battery exhibits significantly shorter runtime or discharge capacity compared to new, it 
may have reached the end of its reasonable lifetime; consider replacing it. 
A battery that does not charge or exhibits excessive charging time may have reached the 
end of its life and may need to be replaced.
All batteries degrade and lose charge capacity over time as a result of use or storage, 
and eventually need to be replaced.
Batteries are best stored in a cool, dark, dry place. Avoid storage in direct sunlight and in 
vehicles parked outdoors.
Batteries may get warm while charging and discharging; this is normal behavior for all 
batteries.
Use the AC adapter and the USB cable that came with this device.
Use the latest firmware; check for updates on a regular basis.
Device performance and runtime are affected by workload or usage. Higher workloads or 
usage can lead to higher battery temperatures and faster battery power consumption.
Streaming large amounts of data affects the power consumption and reduces the 
operating time of the battery.
General Battery Safety
Stop using a battery if its case appears damaged, swollen, or compromised. Examples 
include, but are not limited to, leaking, odors, dents, corrosion, rust, cracks, swelling, 
melting, and scratches.
Do not expose batteries to fire or other heat- generating environments.
Do not place the battery or the device in areas that may get hot. Examples include, but 
are not limited to, on or near a space heater, cooking surface, cooking appliance, iron, 
radiator, or fireplace.
