Battery
HTC XXXX uses a rechargeable battery. How long the battery can last before it needs
recharging depends on how you use HTC XXXX. Among these are the features and
accessories you use (for example, leaving your Bluetooth® connection always on uses
more power). Long phone calls and frequent web browsing uses up a lot of battery
power. Also, consider your location: poor signal strength from your mobile network
and extreme temperature make the battery work harder.

XXXX, it is recommended that you charge the battery. Some batteries perform best
