Using Your Phone’s Battery and Charger
WARNING: Use only Sprint-approved or manufacturer-approved
batteries and chargers with your phone. The failure to use a
Sprint-approved or manufacturer-approved battery and charger may
increase the risk that your phone will overheat, catch fire, or explode,
resulting in serious bodily injury, death, or property damage.
Sprint- or manufacturer-approved batteries and accessories
can be found at SprintStores or through your phone’s
manufacturer, or call 1-866-343-1114 to order. They’re also
available at

Battery Capacity
Your phone is equipped with a Lithium Polymer battery. It
allows you to recharge your battery before it is fully drained.
The battery provides up to 4.5 hours of continuous digital talk
time.
When the battery reaches 5% of its capacity, the battery icon
blinks. When there are approximately two minutes of talk
time left, the phone sounds an audible alert and then powers
down.
Note: Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode, and
browser use affect the battery’s talk and standby times.
Tip: Be sure to watch your phone’s battery level indicator and charge the
battery before it runs out of power.
