Introduction

The battery is used to power on and off the device.

If you are experiencing poor battery life, a battery overheating, and/or an inability to connect to Bluetooth or WIFI networks, your device may need a battery replacement.

Removing the battery will completely shut down the device and prevent it from working properly. It is important to note that removing a battery while it’s too hot can induce injury or spark a flame. To prevent injury, allow your device to cool down before removing the battery from the device and store it in an appropriate place. For more information on how to store it, you can review this guide.
