The mobile computer is powered by a rechargeable 3.7V / 3000mAh or 3.7V / 6000mAh Li-ion battery pack, and it takes approximately 4 or 6 hours to charge it to full from the power adaptor (for the first time charging the main battery, please charge it for at least 8 to 12 hours). However, the charging time may vary by your working condition.
Spare Battery
A spare battery pack is provided as an accessory. We recommend keeping a fully charged spare battery at hand in order to replace the main battery when it is nearly drained out.
Backup Battery
Settled on the main board is a backup battery that keeps the mobile computer in suspension when the main battery is depleted. The backup battery is a 3.8V, 180mAh rechargeable Li-Polymer battery, and can retain data in the DRAM for 30 minutes when it is fully charged (as long as wireless modules on the mobile computer are inactive). The backup battery can be charged by the main battery or the power adapter, and takes approximately 4 hours to charge to full.
Warning: (1) The battery cover must be secured in position with its latch locked. (2) For a new battery, make sure it is fully charged before using. (3) To avoid data loss, when replacing the main battery, make sure you replace it with a
well-charged spare battery pack. Always prepare a spare battery at hand, especially when you are on the road.
(4) When the mobile computer has been on backup battery for 30 minutes, the system will shut
down. Be sure to replace the main battery as soon as possible in order to avoid data loss.

2.1.2. MONITOR BATTERY LEVEL
MAIN BATTERY LEVEL
The main battery is the only source that feeds the mobile computer to work. It also supplies the backup battery on the main board in order to retain the data stored in DRAM. When main battery level gets low, recharge it or replace it as soon as possible. Most critically, back up the important data from time to time to protect your work.
To check main battery level:
Go to App Drawer (All Apps) | Settings | Battery
Battery level percentage is shown to provide a clear grasp of the remaining battery power.
Tap the “More” button on action bar and then tap on “Battery usageto enter Battery usage” page, the screen shows the rate of battery discharge since the last battery charging session, how long the device has been running on battery power, and which applications are consuming the most battery power.
The screen also shows the rate of battery discharge since the last battery charging session, how long the device has been running on battery power, and which applications are consuming the most battery power.
