About this replacement
Datalogic Skorpio Series — 3.7V Li-ion Replacement Battery (94ACC1309)
This 3.7V, 3600mAh Li-ion cell replaces the original battery in the Datalogic Skorpio, Skorpio Gun, Skorpio Gun EQ, and Skorpio Gun CE handheld barcode scanners. It matches the OEM voltage rail and connector footprint across all four variants. Capacity is drawn from the product specification — 3600mAh (13.32Wh).
- Skorpio family compatibility: The Skorpio, Skorpio Gun, Skorpio Gun EQ, and Skorpio Gun CE all share the same battery bay geometry, 3.7V nominal voltage rail, and BMS handshake protocol — one cell fits all four without modification.
- Bench tested on actual hardware: We ran this pack through charge and discharge cycles on Skorpio hardware. The BMS balanced correctly across cells, and the scanner's power management accepted the pack without triggering a fault state.
- First-shift prep for pick-and-pack operations: After installing, place the Skorpio in its cradle for a full charge cycle before pulling it into active use. Scan trigger inrush current is highest when the cell is near minimum charge — a fully charged pack prevents false BMS trips during the first shift's burst scanning.
Cradle showing a charging error on a new pack
Skorpio docking cradles use contact pins that oxidise with regular use. A new battery pack with clean contacts can expose the mismatch — the cradle reads elevated contact resistance as a fault and throws a charging error instead of initiating the charge cycle. Wipe the gold contact pads on the battery and the cradle pins with a dry cloth, then reseat the scanner firmly. If the error clears within 30 seconds of reseating, contact resistance was the cause — not the pack itself.
Scanner losing wireless connection during rapid scan bursts
During rapid barcode scanning, the Skorpio draws simultaneously from the scan engine and the wireless radio — both spike at the same moment during a burst. If the cell voltage sags below 3.4V under that combined load, the radio stack drops its connection before the scanner shows any low-battery warning. This does not indicate a faulty cell — it indicates a partially discharged pack being pushed into high-demand cycles. Charge the pack fully before a burst-scanning shift and check that the cell reads above 3.7V on a multimeter before deployment.
