Battery Information
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 life of a battery pack such as heat, cold, customer usage profiles, age and severe drops.
When batteries are stored over a year, battery cell manufacturers advise that some irreversible deterioration in
overall battery quality may occur. To minimize this loss, they recommend storing batteries half charged in a dry,
cool place between 41° F and 77° F (5° C and 25° C), the cooler the better, and removed from the equipment to
prevent the loss of capacity. Batteries should be charged to half capacity at least once a year. If an electrolyte
leakage is observed, avoid any contact with the affected area and properly dispose of the battery.
Replace the battery when a significant loss of run time is detected. Batteries must be charged within the 32° F to
104° F (0° C to 40°C) temperature range.
The standard warranty period for all Symbol batteries is 30 days, regardless if the battery was purchased
separately or included as part of the digital scanner. For more information on Symbol batteries, please visit:
