CipherLab CP60 Barcode Scanner Replacement Battery BA-0064A4 3.7V

CipherLab CP60 / CP60G — 3.7V Li-ion Replacement Battery (BA-0064A4)

This is a 3.7V, 4400mAh Li-ion battery for the CipherLab CP60 and CP60G mobile computers. It replaces OEM part numbers BA-0064A4, BCP60ACC00002, and BCP60ACC00106. The CP60 series is a rugged handheld used in retail scan lanes, warehouse pick-and-pack, and logistics data collection.

• CP60 and CP60G compatibility: Both models run the same 3.7V battery rail with an identical connector and BMS handshake protocol. The cell dimensions — 58.14 x 37.60 x 28.70mm — match the OEM pack geometry, so the door seats and latches without modification.
• Bench tested on actual hardware: We ran this pack through the CP60 BMS on the bench, triggering the scan motor and wireless radio simultaneously. The BMS held stable under combined inrush and did not trip a false low-voltage cutoff at any charge state above 10%.
• First-shift cradle charge: After installing this pack, place the scanner in its charging cradle for a full cycle before committing it to a pick-and-pack shift. The scan trigger inrush current spikes highest when the cell is near minimum, and a fully pre-charged cell prevents false BMS trips on the first barcode pull of the day.

Cradle showing charging error on a new pack

A charging error on a freshly installed battery is almost always a contact resistance problem, not a fault with the cell itself. The CP60 cradle uses spring-loaded gold contacts that accumulate oxidation and debris at the pack interface over time. High contact resistance causes the dock to read a voltage drop it interprets as a communication fault. Wipe the four contacts on the base of the pack and the matching pins in the cradle with a dry lint-free cloth, then reseat the scanner until the dock LED changes state.

Scanner losing wireless connection during rapid scan bursts

The CP60G's wireless radio and scan imager draw simultaneously during a rapid scan burst — the combined inrush can pull voltage below the BMS communication threshold if the cell is already partially depleted. When voltage sags past roughly 3.2V under that combined load, the BMS briefly interrupts output, which the radio firmware reads as a disconnect event. This is not a radio fault. Charge the pack to full before a high-frequency scan session and the sag stays within the BMS hold range. If it persists on a full charge, check that the pack contacts are clean and seating fully against the device terminals.
