Battery Information

Symbol 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 discharged 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, they should be
charged and discharged at least once a year. If an electrolyte leakage is observed,
avoid any contact with affected area and properly dispose of the battery.
Replace the battery when a significant loss of run time is detected.
Standard warranty period for all Symbol batteries is 30 days, regardless if the battery
was purchased separately or included as part of the mobile computer or bar code
scanner.
