•
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). The battery should not
be charged at temperatures below 0 degrees C (32 degrees F) or above 45
degrees C (113 degrees 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, key, jewelry 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 crush, puncture or put a high degree of pressure on the battery as this can
cause an internal short-circuit, resulting in overheating.
•
Dispose of used batteries in accordance with local regulations. In some areas, the
disposal of batteries in household or business trash may be prohibited. For safe
disposal options for Li-Ion batteries, contact your nearest Samsung authorized
service center. Always recycle. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire.
