subject: Talk About Good Quality Of Nokia Battery [print this page] If a Nokia Battery has not been used for a long period of time, perform the new battery break in procedure described above. Battery Storage - If you don't plan on using the Mobile Phone Battery for a month or more, store it in a clean, dry, cool place away from heat and metal objects. NiCad, Ni-MH and Li-ion batteries will self-discharge during storage; remember to recharge the batteries before use. A new NOKIA BL-5K Mobile Phone Battery comes in a discharged condition and must be charged before use (refer to the devices manual for charging instructions). Upon initial use (or after a prolonged storage period) the digital camcorder NOKIA BL-5K may require three to four charge/discharge cycles before achieving maximum capacity. It is important to condition (fully discharge and then fully charge) the NOKIA BL-5K every two to three weeks. Failure to do so may significantly shorten the battery's life (this does not apply to Li-ion batteries, which do not require conditioning). To discharge, simply run the device under the battery's power until it shuts down or until you get a low battery warning. Then recharge the battery as instructed in the user's manual. If the battery will not be in use for a month or longer, it is recommended that NOKIA BL-5K be removed from the device and stored in a cool, dry, clean place. Nokia said Tuesday that about 46 million units of itsNokia BL-5c cell phone battery may be at risk of overheating, and is offering to replace them free of charge. DO follow the manufacturer's directions carefully for NOKIA BL-5K replacement battery storage and care, and don't overcharge batteries. DO charge your NOKIA BL-5K battery at room temperature (68F to 72F) to extend battery life. Batteries get warm during charging and usethis is normal. As a precaution, most batteries and chargers are designed to protect against overheating. DO remember to recharge your NOKIA BL-5K battery a few hours before you want to use it. Rechargeable batteries lose a percentage of their charge each day when left off the charger. Keep the Nokia BL-5K Mobile Phone Battery Clean - It's a good idea to clean dirty battery contacts with a cotton swab and alcohol. This helps maintain a good connection between the battery and the portable device. Exercise the Battery - Do not leave the battery dormant for long periods of time. We recommend using the battery at least once every two to three weeks. Joanne-myreplicaphone Article from: www.myreplicaphone.com
