Batteries
Note: New batteries must be charged prior to use.
The MX3-CE computer is designed to work with a Lithium-Ion (Li-ion) battery from LXE. Under
normal conditions it should last approximately eight to ten hours before requiring a recharge. The
more you use the scanner or the RF transmitter, the shorter the time required between battery
recharges. The MX3-CE keeps date and time valid for a minimum of four days using a fully
charged Backup Battery and a Main Battery that has reached the Low Warning point.

The main battery has a rugged plastic enclosure that is designed to withstand the ordinary rigors of
an industrial environment. Exercise care when transporting the battery making sure it does not
come in contact with excessive heat or any power source other than an LXE MultiCharger or
MX3-CE unit.
Backup Battery
The internal Nickel Cadmium (NiCd) backup battery provides power to the unit for a short amount
of time when the main battery has been depleted, removed or has failed. The backup battery
requires no user intervention. Replacement is performed by LXE.
Note: An uninterrupted external power source (wall AC adapters or DC/DC converters)
transfers power to the MX3-CE internal charging circuitry which, in turn, recharges the
Main Battery and Backup Battery.
