About the battery
Battery properties
•
A lithium-ion battery is small-sized and has a high capacity. Low
ambient temperature (below 10ºC (50ºF)) may shorten its usage
time and affect its function.
Be careful not to completely discharge the battery.
•
- When fully discharged, a battery damages the internal cells. The
battery may be prone to leakage when fully discharged.
- If the battery is not used for a long time, fully charge the battery
and then, using your product, drain the charge completely once
every 3 months to keep the battery functioning properly.
- A battery which is completely discharged may not turn on the
recharging LED during charging. It is designed to protect the
battery. When charge starts but the charge indicator does not
light even within 5 minutes, contact your local Samsung dealer.
The battery lifetime is limited.
•
- Battery capacity decreases over time and through repeated use.
If decreased usage time between charges becomes significant,
it is probably time to replace the battery with a new one.
Contact your local Samsung dealer.
- Each battery’s life is affected by storage, operating, and
environmental conditions.
