Battery Information

Zebra rechargeable battery packs are designed and constructed to the highest
standards within the industry.
However, there are limitations to how long a battery can operate or be stored
before needing replacement. Many factors affect the actual life cycle of a battery
pack, such as heat, cold, harsh environmental conditions and severe drops.
When batteries are stored over six (6) months, some irreversible deterioration in
overall battery quality may occur. Store batteries at half of full charge in a dry, cool
place, removed from the equipment to prevent loss of capacity, rusting of metallic
parts and electrolyte leakage. When storing batteries for one year or longer, the
charge level should be verified at least once a year and charged to half of full
charge.
Replace the battery when a significant loss of run time is detected.
Standard warranty period for all Zebra batteries is 30 days, regardless if the
battery was purchased separately or included as part of the mobile computer or
bar code scanner.

Battery Safety Guidelines

• The area in which the units are charged should be clear of debris and
combustible materials or chemicals. Particular care should be taken where the
device is charged in a non commercial environment.
• Follow battery usage, storage, and charging guidelines found in the user's
guide.
• Improper battery use may result in a fire, explosion, or other hazard.
• To charge the mobile device battery, the battery and charger temperatures
must be between -4ºF and +122 ºF (- 20 ºC and +50 ºC)
• Do not use incompatible batteries and chargers. Use of an incompatible
battery or charger may present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage, or other
hazard. If you have any questions about the compatibility of a battery or a
charger, contact Zebra support.
• For devices that utilize a USB port as a charging source, the device shall only
be connected to products that bear the USB-IF logo or have completed the
USB-IF compliance program.
• Do not disassemble or open, crush, bend or deform, puncture, or shred.
• Severe impact from dropping any battery-operated device on a hard surface
could cause the battery to overheat.
Do not short circuit a battery or allow metallic or conductive objects to contact
the battery terminals.
