Caring for the Battery
Protecting Your Battery
The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your 
battery’s performance.
Use only authorized batteries and battery chargers. These 
chargers are designed to maximize battery life. Using other 
batteries or chargers voids your warranty and may cause damage.
In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in temperatures 
that range from 32° F to 113° F (0° C to 45° C).
Don’t use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in high 
humidity areas, such as the bathroom.
Never dispose of the battery by incineration.
Keep the metal contacts on top of the battery clean.
Don’t attempt to disassemble or short-circuit the battery.
The battery may need recharging if it has not been used for a long 
period of time.
It’s best to replace the battery when it no longer provides 
acceptable performance. It can be recharged hundreds of times 
before it needs replacing.
Don’t store the battery in high temperature areas for long periods 
of time. It’s best to follow these storage rules:
Less than one month:
-4° F to 140° F (-20° C to 60° C)
More than one month:
-4° F to 113° F (-20° C to 45° C)
Disposal of Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) Batteries
For safe disposal options of your Li-Ion batteries, contact your nearest 
authorized service center.
 
Special 
Note:
Be sure to dispose of your battery properly. In some areas, 
the disposal of batteries in household or business trash 
may be prohibited.
Note:
For safety, do not handle a damaged or leaking Li-Ion battery.
