Quick Reference Guide 9
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 difficult to precisely predict the
finite life of a LI battery, but cell manufacturers rate them at 500 charge
cycles. In other words, the batteries should be expected to take 500 full dis-
charge / charge cycles before needing replacement. This number is higher if
partial discharging / recharging is adhered to rather than full / deep dis-
charging,
The typical manufacturer advertised useful life of LI batteries is one to three
years, depending on usage and number of charges, etc., after which they
should be removed from service, especially in mission critical applications. Do
not continue to use a battery that is showing excessive loss of capacity, it
should be properly recycled / disposed of and replaced. For most applications,
batteries should be replaced after one year of service to maintain customer
satisfaction and minimize safety concerns.
Collect and recycle waste batteries separately from the device in comply with
European Directive 2006/66/EC, 2002/95/EC, 2002/96/EC and subsequent
modifications, US and China regulatory and others laws and regulations
about the environment.
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.
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.
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.
