Battery Care TipsDue to a frequent response from our viewers of questions on battery care, we have specially included this section from Ericsson on tips on battery care.
General Battery Information
Always treat your batteries with care.
Turn OFF the phone before removing the battery.
Avoid keeping the battery in the sun, as extremely high temperature reduces the capacity of the battery permanently.
When to Change the Battery
The nickel metal hydride (NiMH) battery that comes with your phone can be charged whenever you wish without losing performance. This is not the case with the cheaper nickel cadmium (NiCd) type batteries, often sold as accessories from other suppliers. For optimal talk & standby time in the long run, we recommend that you only use original batteries with your mobile phones.
To remind you that the battery will soon need to be charged or replaced with a charged one:-An alarm signal (a long beep) sounds & the message "Battery Low" appears for ten seconds in the display. The indicator light on top of the phone starts blinking red.
Battery Care & Maintenance
A battery has a long maintenance-free service life if properly treated.
Never let a battery get into contact with metal objects that may short-circuit the battery poles, for example a bunch of keys in a pocket.
A battery may explode if disposed of in a fire.
Do not disassemble a battery.
If you suspect a battery of not working properly, take it to an authorised dealer.
If left unused, a fully charged battery will discharge itself in a few months time.
When not in use, store your battery uncharged in a cool, dark & dry place.
Always use original battery & battery charger.
Battery "Memory Effect"
NiMH battery does not exhibit "Memory Effect". Memory Effect refer to a battery, which when consistently discharges incompletely to a certain level after being recharged, is unable to discharge to its full capacity.
