Best Practice for Scanner Battery Life

The following tips incorporate best practices for scanning devices and can resolve common issues. 

1. Power scanners OFF, wait 5 seconds and then place into the charging cradle of plug into the charger to extend/increase battery life. 
2. Do not allow a battery to reach 0% before charging. Charge the devices at room temperature. 
3. Scanners stored more than 1 week without use should be charged between 35 - 50% of capacity, and the battery should be removed from the scanner.
4. Prevent over charging by removing or unseating all fully charged scanners from their charging cradles or adapters.
5. Store batteries in a dry, cool environment. Handle batteries with care.

Important note: Batteries used beyond 300 charge/discharge cycles may not hold a charge as well as a newer battery. Extended usage may lead to impaired performance but will not affect the safety of the scanner.
