- Store the battery properly: When storing the battery, keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Do not store the battery in extremely cold or hot temperatures.
- Keep the battery away from water and moisture: Do not expose the battery to water or moisture, as this can damage the battery and cause a safety hazard.
- Avoid puncturing or damaging the battery: Do not puncture or damage the battery, as this can cause a chemical leak or fire.
- Do not dispose of the battery in the trash: Li-Ion batteries should not be disposed of in the regular trash. Instead, take the battery to a recycling center or other authorized disposal facility.
- Use the battery according to manufacturer’s instructions: Always use the battery according to the manufacturer’s instructions and guidelines. Do not modify the battery or use it in ways that are not recommended by the manufacturer.

Battery Maintenance
Proper maintenance of your U8735 Dell PERC 5i 3.7V 7Wh Li-Ion battery can help prolong its lifespan and ensure it operates safely and efficiently. Here are some maintenance tips:
- Charge the battery regularly: Lithium-ion batteries perform best when they are regularly charged and discharged. If the battery is not used for an extended period of time, it should be charged at least once every three months to prevent degradation.
- Use the battery regularly: In addition to charging the battery regularly, it’s also important to use it regularly. If the battery is not used for an extended period of time, it can lose its charge capacity.
- Avoid overcharging: Overcharging a Li-Ion battery can damage it and reduce its lifespan. Once the battery is fully charged, unplug the charger to prevent overcharging.
- Avoid deep discharge: Li-Ion batteries should not be discharged to zero percent on a regular basis, as this can damage the battery and reduce its lifespan. Instead, try to keep the battery charged between 20% and 80%.
- Keep the battery clean: Dirt and debris can damage the contacts and reduce the battery’s performance. Periodically clean the battery with a soft, dry cloth to remove any dirt or debris.
- Avoid extreme temperatures: Exposure to extreme temperatures, both hot and cold, can damage the battery and reduce its lifespan. Keep the battery in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
