Battery Information

Motorola/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
at half of full charge 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, the charge level should be verified at least once a year
and charged to half of full charge.
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. For more
