Battery care and safety
zKeep the battery in a cool, ventilated place and out of direct sunlight.
zAlthough the battery is rechargeable, it’ll eventually start to lose its ability to recharge. If
you find that the battery won’t recharge, it’s time to replace it.
zPlease don’t throw old batteries into your household rubbish. You’ll find there are special
bins for batteries at refuse collection points. And some high street electrical stores
provide a battery recycling service too.
zNever throw the battery into a fire – it’s highly inflammable and could explode, hurting
you or somebody else.
zWhen you put the battery into your phone, there’s no need to use force. Exerting too
much pressure could make it leak, overheat, explode or burst into flame.
zNever take the battery apart. This may result in leakage, overheating, explosion or fire.
zIf the battery becomes hot, changes colour or shape at any time (when in use, charging
or even while in storage) please stop using it immediately and replace.
zKeep the battery dry. Damp or wet conditions can cause it to overheat or corrode.
zDon’t leave the battery in direct sunlight or anywhere really hot, like in a car on a
summer’s day. That could make it leak or overheat, while lowering its performance and
shortening its life.
zDon’t charge the battery continuously for 24 hours. Overcharging is not good for it.
