Battery Safety
Product Reference Guide 5
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 dif-
ficult 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 discharge /
charge cycles before needing replacement. This number is higher if partial discharging /
recharging is adhered to rather than full / deep discharging.
CAUTION
Storage of batteries for long time at fully charged status or at fully discharged status
should be avoided.
CAUTION
In case of long storage, to avoid deep discharge of the battery it is recommended to par-
tially recharge the battery every three months to keep the charge status at a medium level.
As a reference, run a fast recharge for 20 minutes every three months on unused products
to avoid any performance deterioration of the cell.
The useful life of LI batteries depends 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 showing excessive loss of capacity, it should be properly recycled / disposed of
and replaced.
Collect and recycle waste batteries separately from the device in compliance with European
Directive 2006/66/EC, 2011/65/EU, 2002/96/EC and 2012/19/EU and subsequent modifica-
tions, US and China regulatory and others laws and regulations about the environment.
CAUTION
CAUTION
Do not use the battery pack if it is damaged in any part.
Battery pack usage by children should be supervised.
Always charge the battery at 32° – 104°F (0° - 40°C) temperature 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 damaged, 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 bat-
tery 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-pressure 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.
