Charging your phone
The HUAWEI MATE 8 comes with optimized power management software and a 4000
mAh battery to deliver impressive battery life.
Using your battery
•
Your battery can be recharged hundreds of times, but all batteries have a limited
lifespan. If you notice a significant deterioration in your phone's battery life, contact
an authorized Huawei service center for a replacement battery. The battery is built into
the phone and is not removable. Do not attempt to remove the battery yourself.
•
Your phone may become warm after prolonged use or when exposed to high ambient
temperatures. This is entirely normal. If your phone becomes hot to touch, stop
charging it, and disable unnecessary features. Place your phone in a cool location and
allow it to cool down to room temperature. Avoid prolonged contact with the surface
of your phone if it becomes hot.
•
When charging your phone, only use genuine Huawei batteries, chargers, and USB
cables. Using third-party accessories may impair your phone's performance and
constitutes a safety hazard. Avoid using your phone when it is charging. Do not cover
your phone or the power adapter.
•
Charging times may vary depending on the ambient temperature and the remaining
battery level.
•
A low battery warning will be displayed when the battery level is low.
•
Your phone will switch off automatically when the battery is nearly empty.
Battery status indicator
The battery status is indicated by your phone's indicator light and the battery icon in the
status bar.
