It also cross-references OEM part numbers 063278 and 068537. These scanners run in retail and warehousing environments where a dead battery stops a shift cold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2400 series compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    The 2400, 2420, 2425, and 2430 share the same battery bay dimensions, connector pinout, and BMS communication protocol — one pack covers the whole family without adapter or modification.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    We ran this pack through charge and discharge cycles on a 2420 unit and confirmed the BMS handshake completes correctly — the scanner accepted the pack and reported charge state accurately on the status display.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFirst-shift charging:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    After installing this pack, seat the scanner in its cradle for a full charge cycle before pulling it for pick-and-pack. Scan trigger inrush current is highest when the cell is near minimum voltage, and starting a shift fully charged prevents false BMS trips on the first burst of rapid scanning.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eCradle showing a charging error on a new pack\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eCharging errors on a freshly installed pack are almost always a contact resistance issue, not a battery fault. Cradle dock pins accumulate dust, label adhesive residue, and oxidation from repeated insertions in warehouse environments. That resistance spikes the voltage drop across the contacts, and the cradle's charge controller reads it as an abnormal pack condition. Wipe the gold contacts on both the battery and the cradle dock with a dry cloth, reseat the scanner firmly, and the error clears in most cases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eScanner losing wireless connection during rapid scan bursts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eDuring a fast scan burst, the imager draw and the wireless radio transmit cycle overlap — both pull current at the same moment. If the cell voltage sags below the radio module's minimum operating threshold, the connection drops mid-burst and the scanner has to re-associate with the access point. This is more common when the pack is below 20% charge. Keep the pack above 3.5V per cell (7.0V total pack voltage) during active shifts to avoid the sag window where these two loads collide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43325034233946,"sku":"BWCS-ETH30BL-1","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43325034266714,"sku":"BWCS-ETH30BL-2","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43325034299482,"sku":"BWCS-ETH30BL-3","price":43.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-ETH30BL_1.webp?v=1778123492","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/antares-2400-replacement-battery-74v-2200mah-li-ion","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
