48 Main Battery Pack
MX1 Reference Guide E-EQ-MX1RG-D
Main Battery Pack
The main battery pack has a rugged plastic enclosure that is designed to withstand the ordinary
rigors of an industrial environment. Exercise care when transporting the battery pack making sure
it does not come in contact with excessive heat or any power source other than the LXE battery
charger/analyzer unit.
Figure 3-2 Main Battery Pack
The MX1 Main Battery Pack is a 1500 mAh (or greater) Nickel Metal Hydride energy source
used to operate the MX1. When the battery is properly installed in the unit it provides up to eight
hours of operation depending upon operation and accessories installed. The battery pack is
resistant to impact damage and falls of up to four feet to a concrete surface.
Under normal conditions it should last approximately eight hours before requiring a recharge. The
more you use the scanner or the transmitter, the shorter the time required between battery
recharges.
LXE Docking Cradles and the MX1
The amount of time required to fully recharge the backup battery does not change when the MX1
is in an LXE approved powered docking cradle. The backup battery may be discharged and
charged while the MX1 is in the docking cradle. The main battery pack can be recharged by the
main power source of the docking cradle at the same time.
Battery Charger Analyzer
Figure 3-3 Battery and Battery Charging Cup
The MX1 Battery Pack can only be charged in the LXE Charger Analyzer equipped with the
appropriate Charging Cup. Insert the Battery Pack with the arrow on the Battery Pack pointing
UP, away from the charger. Make sure that the groove on the back of the battery mates with the
slot on the battery charging cup. Failure to follow these instructions can result in damage to the
battery pack or the charger.
