Caring for the Battery
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. LG is not aware of similar problems with LG
phones resulting from the proper use of batteries and
accessories approved by LG. Use only approved batteries
and accessories found through LG. Buying the right
batteries and accessories is the best way to ensure
they're genuine and safe.
In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in
temperatures that range from 32° F to 113° F (0° C to 45°
C).
Don't use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in high
humidity areas, such as the bathroom.
Never dispose of the battery by incineration.
Keep the metal contacts on top of the battery clean.
