Warning This device contains a built-in lithium-ion rechargeable battery with soft battery cells. Battery safety is the number one concern when repairing a device with a built-in lithium-ion battery. Only technicians with the knowledge, experience, and tools required to repair electronic devices should replace a battery. Improper battery replacement, improper handling of parts, failure to discharge the battery before repair, or failure to follow the provided instructions could cause battery overheating, swelling, venting, leaking, or a battery thermal event. These events could result in fire, injury, death, data loss, or damage to the device, parts, or other property. To avoid these potentially harmful events, follow the battery safety guidelines and work in a safety-focused workspace with the tools listed below. It’s important to be prepared for all possible outcomes. How to set up a workspace for battery safety Tools

Clean, dry, untreated sand (8–10 cups)

Heat-resistant gloves

Sand container (wide-mouthed, quick pour, nonbreakable plastic container with a flip-top lid) Safety glasses with side shields ESD-safe cleaning solution Workspaces used to repair Apple devices should meet the following criteria:

Nonflammable and electrostatic discharge (ESD)-safe work bench

Sand container within reach (2 feet) on both sides of the workspace, not above the workspace

iPhone 12 mini Battery Safety Warning How to handle a battery thermal event A battery thermal event is a rapid chemical chain reaction that occurs inside a battery cell. The energy stored in the battery is released suddenly, which can cause outgassing and fire. A battery thermal event can be triggered by physical damage to the battery, improper replacement or repair, or temperatures outside the battery’s operating range. Act immediately if you notice any of the following signs of a battery thermal event:

The lithium-ion battery or a device that contains one begins to smoke or emit sparks or soot.

The lithium-ion battery or a device that contains one begins to emit hissing or popping sounds.

The battery pouch suddenly and quickly puffs out. Don’t use water or an ABC or carbon dioxide fire extinguisher on a battery thermal event or a device that is undergoing one. Water and ABC or carbon dioxide fire extinguishers won’t stop the reaction. Do smother the battery or device immediately with plenty of clean, dry sand. Dump the sand all at once. Timing is critical — the faster you pour all the sand, the sooner the reaction will be contained. Do contact local fire authorities if further assistance is needed. Do leave the room for 30 minutes after the reaction is contained. Ventilate the area. Don’t return until the area is clear of smoke. Do wait 30 minutes before touching the device. Wear the heat-resistant gloves and safety glasses with side shields to remove the device from the sand. Do wipe the affected area with water first. Then wipe the area with an ESD-safe cleaning solution. Do dispose of the damaged battery or device (including any debris removed from the sand) according to local environmental laws and guidelines. © 2022 Apple Inc. All rights reserved. 073-00290-A

iPhone 12 mini Battery Safety How to handle batteries Warning Fully discharge the battery before you begin a repair. A discharged battery is less susceptible to a battery thermal event. If you can’t determine the battery level, don’t repair the device. Perform the following steps to discharge the battery:

Turn on the flashlight from the Lock Screen, in Control Center, or by asking Siri. Wait until the device has turned off and the flashlight is no longer illuminated.

Remove all cases and covers. Caution The flashlight produces heat. Keep the iPhone in a well-ventilated area while the flashlight is illuminated. Best practices

To avoid noxious fumes or a battery thermal event, don’t puncture, strike, or crush a lithium-ion battery or a device that contains one. Keep your workspace clear of foreign objects and sharp materials. Be careful when using sharp tools near the battery. Don’t leave loose screws, extra screws, or small parts inside the device. Don’t use tools that conduct electricity. Don’t throw or drop the battery. Don’t expose the battery to excessive heat or sunlight, or temperatures outside the battery’s operating range. Handle and dispose of waste batteries in accordance with local laws and regulations. © 2022 Apple Inc. All rights reserved. 073-00290-A
