Protecting Your Battery
The guidelines listed below help you get the most out
of your battery’s performance.
Recently there have been some public reports of
wireless phone batteries overheating, catching fire, or
exploding. It appears that many, if not all, of these
reports involve counterfeit or inexpensive,
aftermarket-brand batteries with unknown or
questionable manufacturing standards. Use only
manufacturer-approved batteries and accessories
found at Carrier Stores or through your device’s
manufacturer. Buying the right batteries and
accessories is the best way to ensure they are genuine
and safe.
