or break up a battery.

hazard.
Dispose of and recycle used batteries in accordance with
local regulations. Do not dispose of batteries by burning as
they may explode. Do not use an unauthorized charger or
battery.

Battery life inevitably shortens over time.
Overcharging may shorten the battery’s life. Therefore,
remove the phone from its charger once it is fully charged
and unplug the charger. Avoid leaving the battery in hot
or cold places, such as inside a car in summer or winter, as
this may reduce the capacity and life of the battery. Always
store the battery within normal operating temperatures.
