About the Battery
The CN51 uses a Model 1015AB01 battery as its main power source.
The battery has a 14.4 Watt hour capacity. Several factors determine
the life of your battery, such as display brightness, display timeout,
input devices, extreme temperatures, and your usage.
Fully charge the battery before you use the CN51. When you change
the battery, the computer automatically goes into a power-off state
and then cold boots.
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.
Contact your Intermec representative for replacement batteries.
Charge the Battery
Make sure you fully charge the battery (Model 1015AB01) before you
use your CN51. You can charge the battery before or after you install it
in the CN51. A fully discharged battery charges in approximately 6
hours.
• Insert the battery into a quad battery charger, a single dock, or a
multidock, or attach external power to the CN51 with the battery
installed.
The battery is fully charged when the battery status LED shows a
steady green.
Use these Intermec accessories to charge the CN51 batteries:
• Quad Battery Charger (Model AC21)
• Charge-Only Multidock (Model AD23)
• Ethernet Multidock (Model AD24)
• Single Dock (Model AD27)
• Vehicle Power Adapter (Model AE36)
• AC Power Adapter (Model AE37)
4 CN51 Mobile Computer User Manual
Change the Battery
When the battery in the CN51 has a low charge, replace it with a
charged battery to maintain your network connections.
Note: When you remove a battery from the computer, Intermec
recommends that you install a charged battery within 90 seconds to
maintain your network connections.
