Caring for the Battery
Protecting Your Battery
The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your
battery’s performance.
ᮣ Use only approved batteries and desktop 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 41º F to 113º F (5º C to 45º 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 many times before it
has to be replaced.
ᮣ 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:
32º F to 140º F (0º C to 60º C)
More than one month:
32º F to 113º F (0º C to 45º C)
