battery tips

Battery life depends on the network, signal strength, temperature, features, and accessories you use.

•

Always use Motorola Original batteries and chargers. The warranty does not cover damage caused by non-Motorola batteries and/or chargers.

•

New batteries or batteries stored for a long time may take more time to charge.

•

When charging your battery, keep it near room temperature.

•

When storing your battery, keep it uncharged in a cool, dark, dry place.

•

Never expose batteries to temperatures below -10°C (14°F) or above 45°C (113°F). Always take your phone with you when you leave your vehicle.

•

It is normal for batteries to gradually wear down and require longer charging times. If you notice a change in your battery life, it is probably time to purchase a new battery.
