The scanner is powered by a rechargeable 3.7 V/700 mAh Li-ion battery, and it takes 
approximately 2 hours to charge the battery to full (from the power adaptor). However, 
the charging time may vary by working condition. For intensive data collection, you may 
purchase a spare battery for non-stop operation. 
During normal operation, the 1166 scanner can work for over 45 hours or 32,000 scans 
(based on EAN-13 barcodes), and the 1266 scanner can work for over 36 hours or
