B. Tips and Safety Guidelines for Lithium-Ion Batteries B Battery Tips • Charge batteries in a room-temperature environment, which is generally between 68° F and 79° F (20° C and 26° C). Charging may be temporarily disabled if the battery temperature exceeds 113° F (60° C). • If a battery exhibits significantly shorter runtime or discharge capacity compared to new, it may have reached the end of its reasonable lifetime; consider replacing it.
AirCard 785 Mobile Hotspot • Do not get the battery or the device wet. Even though they may dry and appear to operate normally, the circuitry can slowly corrode and defeat its safety circuitry. • Do not crush, puncture, deform, or put a high degree of pressure on the battery, which can cause an internal short circuit, resulting in overheating. • Avoid dropping the battery or the device. Dropping it, especially on a hard surface, may cause damage to the battery and the device.
