5. Battery Charging and Replacement
The standard configuration for the DSV2+ uses one 3000 mAh Lithium Polymer battery pack.
There is also an internal, rechargeable coin cell battery that powers the Real Time Clock for
more than 6 months while the unit is off.
NOTES:
1.
Scanners should never be operated on AC power alone. A battery should always be
plugged in for reliable operation.
2.
The capacity estimates in the following table are worse case results that reflect continuous
use with all power saving options turned off. The scanner is running 1 scan per minute
continuously. Actual capacity numbers should be much better.
3.
The battery capacity (hours of use) can be extended by 50% or more by using the power
savings options such as: System Idle or Suspend. These power settings are user
programmable and details can be found in Section 6.6 Power Management.
4.
The charge time is the same whether the battery is charged with the unit “On” or “Off”
5.
When a DSV2+ terminal is left on the shelf in the “Off” state the battery will maintain its
charge for over 6 months.

Under normal operating conditions, the battery does not need to
be removed. The DSV2+ has an internal charging circuit that
will charge the battery whenever the unit is connected to the
external AC power adapter. The battery may be replaced by
opening the battery-access cover on the rear of the DSV2+.
Before changing the battery turn the DSV2+ power off and
remove the AC adapter. A slotted screwdriver can be used to
operate the fasteners holding the battery compartment cover in
place.
Once the cover is removed, unplug the battery by squeezing the locking tab and pulling up on the
connector at the end of the battery cable. This will unlock the connector, allowing it to be
withdrawn. When replacing the battery, ensure that the battery wiring is tucked in, out of the
way of the mating surfaces for the rear-cover. Replace the battery cover and tighten the fasteners
(do not over-tighten).
