chargers may not fully charge the iDEN Lithium
Ion battery or may yield a reduced number of
lifetime charge cycles.
•Extreme temperatures degrade battery
performance. Do not store the battery where
temperatures exceed 140°F (60°C) or fall below
4°F (-20°C).
•Lithium Ion batteries have a self discharge rate
and without use, lose about 1% of their charge
per day.

on your phone.
