Varta EasyPack 1000 Barcode Scanner Replacement Battery 3.7V 900mAh

Varta EasyPack 1000 / EasyPack L — 3.7V Li-ion Replacement Battery (1ICP5/35/62-2)

This 3.7V, 900mAh Li-ion cell replaces the original pack in the Varta EasyPack 1000, EasyPack L, EZpack, and EZpack 1000 handheld barcode scanners. These devices are used daily in retail and warehousing environments where a degraded battery directly impacts pick rates and inventory accuracy. Swap it in to restore full scanning capability without replacing the device.

• EasyPack 1000 and EasyPack L series: These models share the same battery bay geometry, connector pinout, and BMS handshake protocol — the 1ICP5/35/62-2 part number covers all variants listed. The cell dimensions (64.94 × 36.70 × 6.60mm) seat flush with no modification required.
• Bench tested on actual hardware: We cycled this pack through repeated scan-trigger inrush events and wireless polling loads simultaneously. The BMS held voltage above the cutoff floor without tripping under combined draw — the condition that causes phantom shutoffs on worn cells.
• First-shift prep for pick-and-pack use: After installing, seat the scanner in its cradle for a full charge cycle before the first shift. Scan-trigger inrush current peaks when the cell is near minimum charge, and a depleted new cell can trip the BMS on the very first burst of rapid scanning.

Cradle showing a charging error on a freshly installed pack

Charging docks on the EasyPack series use spring-loaded contacts that oxidise over time. When a new cell is installed, the dock may flag a fault not because the pack is defective, but because contact resistance is high enough to confuse the charging circuit. Wipe the gold contacts on both the battery and the cradle with a dry cloth, then reseat firmly. If the error clears, the pack was fine — the dock contacts were the cause.

Scanner losing wireless connection during rapid scan bursts

During a fast scan burst, the imager and the wireless radio draw current at the same time. On a degraded or under-charged cell, combined inrush pulls voltage low enough that the radio module drops its connection to the host system. This looks like a network or pairing fault, but it tracks directly to cell voltage sag. Charge the pack to 4.2V before use — a fully charged cell handles the combined draw without the voltage dip that kills the radio link.
