Chapter 1 — About the Computer Features
About the Battery
The computer uses a rechargeable 3.6 V Li-ion battery as its main power
source. The battery has a 14.6 watt hour capacity. Several factors
determine the life of your battery, such as display brightness, display
timeout, input device, extreme temperature, and your usage.
The CT50h battery (P/N 318-055-002) has the same specifications as
the CT50 battery (P/N 318-055-001), but it is made out of specialty
plastic designed for healthcare environments. The batteries are not
interchangeable. Use only the battery designed for your model of
computer.
Honeywell recommends that you keep the battery charged at all times to
prevent data loss. When you change the battery, the computer
automatically goes into a power-off state and then cold boots.
Contact your local sales representative for replacement batteries.
Caution: The battery used in this device may present a fire or
chemical burn hazard if it is mistreated. Do not disassemble it, heat
it above 100 °C (212 °F), or incinerate it. Dispose of used batteries
promptly. Keep away from children.
Caution: We recommend the use of Honeywell Li-ion battery packs.
The use of any non-Honeywell battery may result in damage not
covered by the warranty. A non-Honeywell battery will not be
charged in the device or in a Honeywell charger.
Charge the Battery
Make sure you fully charge the battery (Model CT50-BTSC) before you
use your computer. You can charge the battery before or after you install
it in the computer. It takes about 6 hours for the battery to fully charge in
any of the accessories
• Insert the battery into a Quad Battery Charger or the battery well of
an eHomeBase.
or
• Insert the computer with the battery installed into an eHomeBase,
ChargeBase, NetBase, Quad Battery Charger, USB Adapter, or
Vehicle Power Adapter.
