Battery Safety Guidelines
• Do not disassemble or open the battery.
• Do not crush, bend, deform, puncture, or
shred the battery.
• Do not attempt to insert foreign objects into
the battery.
• Do not immerse the battery or expose it to
water or other liquids. Even if a battery
appears to dry out and operate normally,
internal parts can slowly corrode and pose a
safety hazard.
• Always keep the battery between 15 °C and 25
°C (59 °F and 77 °F). Do not expose the
battery to extremes of temperature (heat or
cold), fire, or other hazards such as a cooking
surface, iron, or radiator.
• Never use any damaged battery.
• Only use the battery for its intended phone.
• Only use the battery with a qualified charger.
Use of an unqualified battery charger may
present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage, or
other hazard. If you are unsure about whether
a charger is qualified, contact customer
support.
• Do not short-circuit the battery or allow
metallic conductive objects—such as keys,
coins, or jewelry—to contact the battery’s
terminals.
• Replace the battery only with another qualified
battery. Use of an unqualified battery may
present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage, or
other hazard. If you are unsure about whether
a replacement battery is compatible, contact
customer support.
• Promptly dispose of used batteries in
accordance with local regulations and recycle
if possible. Do not dispose as household
waste.
• Supervise all battery usage by children.
• Avoid dropping the phone or battery. If the
phone or battery is dropped, especially on a
hard surface, an internal short-circuit can
occur and pose a safety hazard. If you suspect
battery damage, take it to a service center for
inspection.
• Improper battery use may result in a fire,
explosion, or other hazard.
Common Causes of Battery Drain
