Important Battery Information

Understanding Battery Charging Cycles :
Battery life is measured in charging cycles—one full discharge from 100% to 0% and then back to 100% counts as one cycle . Typically, a battery can operate for approximately 500 full charge cycles. Exceeding the manufacturer's specified number of cycles can reduce the battery's capacity, causing the device to discharge faster and require more frequent charging .

When to Replace Your Battery :
It's generally recommended to replace your battery every 2-3 years when its capacity drops to 80% or less to ensure optimal performance . Battery malfunction and decreased service life can result from various factors such as charging cycles, age, and temperature changes .

First-Time Use and Conditioning :
For optimal performance, condition your new battery properly:

• New Lithium Ion batteries achieve full performance and longevity after 2 to 3 complete charge and discharge cycles

• After these initial cycles, the battery will be fully conditioned and ready for normal use

Battery Calibration :
For the phone's software to accurately read the new battery's capacity, follow this procedure:

1. After installation, charge the battery to 100% and continue charging for at least 2 more hours

2. Use the device until it shuts off due to low battery

3. Charge it to 100% uninterrupted

4. This helps the phone's software accurately read the new battery's capacity

Proper Charging Habits :

• To prolong your battery's lifespan, start charging when it reaches 15-25% and unplug it at around 80%

• Avoid letting the battery drain completely to 0% before recharging

• Use the original charger that came with your device

Swollen Battery Warning :
If your old battery is swollen, take appropriate safety measures. Handle with extreme caution and avoid applying pressure. Do not puncture, deform, heat, or throw batteries into fire.

Proper Disposal :
Lithium-Ion batteries should never be incinerated or thrown into household trash. Always recycle old batteries through authorised electronic waste recycling centres.
