Chapter 3 Power Supply
Introduction
The MX1 computer is designed to work with a Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) battery pack from
LXE.
The LXE MX1 receives continuous power from two batteries. There is a 1500 mAh (or greater)
Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) Main Battery Pack that can be recharged separately by an LXE
approved battery charging unit or while installed in an LXE approved charging station. There is a
50 mAh Nickel-Cadmium (NiCd) Backup Battery inside the MX1 that is recharged only by the
Main Battery Pack.
The MX1 maintains the date and time for a minimum of four days using a Main Battery that has
reached the Low Warning point and a fully charged Backup Battery. The MX1 retains data,
during a Main Battery hot swap, for at least 5 minutes.

Note: New batteries must be charged prior to use. This process takes approximately three
hours per battery. LXE batteries are charged using LXE Battery Charger/Analyzers and
eight hours with the LXE Clip-on Portable Charger attached to the MX1.
Refer to the documentation received with the battery charger/analyzer for complete
information.
