Chapter 3 Power Supply
Introduction
The MX1-IS computer is designed to work with a Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) battery pack from LXE.
The 7.2 V Main Battery Pack can be recharged separately by an LXE approved battery charging
unit. There is
no backup battery inside the MX1-IS. Therefore, the MX1-IS does not retain data
when the Main Battery is removed. Hot swapping capability (removing and replacing a battery
pack without turning the unit off first) is non-functional for the MX1-IS.
Figure 3-1 Battery Compartment
Note: New batteries must be charged prior to use . This process takes approximately three
hours per battery. MX1-IS batteries are charged using LXE MX1-IS MULTI-charger
only.
Refer to the documentation received with the MX1-IS MULTI-charger for complete
information.
LXE Docking Cradles and the MX1-IS
There is no battery charging, IR support or RS-232 capability in the Docking Cradle for the MX1-
IS device. MX1 docking cradles will
not hold the MX1-IS securely when the MX1-IS is inside the
protective leather case.
About Lithium-Ion Batteries
Li-Ion batteries (like all batteries) gradually lose their capacity over time (in a fairly linear
fashion) and never just stop working. The following chart is an approximation. Actual battery
capacity may vary based on usage, ambient temperature and peripherals drawing power from the
MX1-IS:
100% capacity 1400 mAh minimum
80% capacity 1120 mAh minimum
Deciding when to put a fully charged Main Battery pack in the unit is difficult to quantify because
it is very application specific. 1000 mAh may be the cutoff for one customer who uses the
computer frequently, while 300 mAh may be perfectly fine for a customer who occasionally uses
the computer. You need to determine the point at which battery life becomes unacceptable for
your business practices and replace the Main Battery pack before that point.
