Battery Information
Symbol rechargeable battery packs are designed and constructed to the highest
standards within the industry.
However, there are limitations to how long your battery can operate or be stored
before needing replacement. Many factors affect the actual life cycle of your 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 your batteries discharged 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, they should be
charged and discharged at least once a year. If an electrolyte leakage is observed,
avoid any contact with affected area and properly dispose of the battery.
An indication that your Symbol battery needs replacement is when normal run time
begins to diminish. When you consistently experience significant loss of run time,
replace your battery.
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.
