LI3678 Quick Start Guide
However, there are limitations as 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 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 information on Zebra batteries, please visit:

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 Zebra support.
• 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.
• Battery usage by children should be supervised.
• Please follow local regulations to promptly dispose of used re-chargeable batteries.
• Do not dispose of batteries in fire.
• Seek medical advice immediately if a battery has been swallowed.
• In the event of a battery leak, do not allow the liquid to come in contact with the skin or eyes. If contact has been made, wash the
affected area with large amounts of water and seek medical advice.
• If you suspect damage to your equipment or battery, contact Zebra support to arrange for inspection.
