Quick Reference Guide 23
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 Zebra 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

Battery Safety Guidelines
• The area in which the units are charged should be clear of
debris and combustible materials or chemicals. Particular
care should be taken where the device is charged in a non
commercial environment.
• Follow battery usage, storage, and charging guidelines
found in the user's guide.
• Improper battery use may result in a fire, explosion, or other
hazard.
• To charge the mobile device battery, the battery and charger
temperatures must be between +32 ºF and +104 ºF (0 ºC
and +40 ºC).
• Do not use incompatible batteries and chargers. Use of an
incompatible battery or charger may present a risk of fire,
explosion, leakage, or other hazard. If you have any
questions about the compatibility of a battery or a charger,
contact the Global Customer Support Center.
• For devices that utilize a USB port as a charging source, the
device shall only be connected to products that bear the
USB-IF logo or have completed the USB-IF compliance
program.
• Do not disassemble or open, crush, bend or deform,
puncture, or shred.
• Severe impact from dropping any battery-operated device
on a hard surface could cause the battery to overheat.
• Do not short circuit a battery or allow metallic or conductive
objects to contact the battery terminals.
• Do not modify or remanufacture, attempt to insert foreign
objects into the battery, immerse or expose to water or other
liquids, or expose to fire, explosion, or other hazard.
Do not leave or store the equipment in or near areas that
might get very hot, such as in a parked vehicle or near a
radiator or other heat source. Do not place battery into a
microwave oven or dryer.
