Charging the Batteries
Quick Reference Guide 15
As with other types of batteries, Lithium-Ion (LI) batteries will
lose capacity over time. Capacity deterioration is noticeable after
one year of service whether the battery is in use or not. It is diffi-
cult to precisely predict the finite life of a LI battery, but cell man-
ufacturers rate them at 500 charge cycles. In other words, the
batteries should be expected to take 500 full discharge / charge cy-
cles before needing replacement. This number is higher if partial
discharging / recharging is adhered to rather than full / deep dis-
charging.
WARNING
In the event the battery pack leaks and the fluid gets
into your eye, do not rub the eye. Rinse well with
water and immediately seek medical care. If left
untreated, the battery fluid could cause damage to
the eye.
CAUTION
Always charge the battery at 32° – 104°F (0° - 40°C) tem-
perature range.
Use only the authorized power supplies, battery pack,
chargers, and docks supplied by your Datalogic reseller.
The use of any other power supplies can damage the
device and void your warranty.
Do not disassemble or modify the battery. The battery
contains safety and protection devices, which, if dam-
aged, may cause the battery to generate heat, explode
or ignite.
CAUTION
Do not place the battery in or near fire, on stoves or
other high temperature locations.
Do not place the battery in direct sunlight, or use or
store the battery inside cars in hot weather. Doing so
may cause the battery to generate heat, explode or
ignite. Using the battery in this manner may also result
in a loss of performance and a shortened life expec-
tancy.
CAUTION
Do not place the battery in microwave ovens, high-pres-
sure containers or on induction cookware.
Immediately discontinue use of the battery if, while
using, charging or storing the battery, the battery emits
an unusual smell, feels hot, changes color or shape, or
appears abnormal in any other way.
Do not replace the battery pack when the device is
turned on.
Do not remove or damage the battery pack’s label.
Do not use the battery pack if it is damaged in any part.
Battery pack usage by children should be supervised.
