Fujitsu iPAD 100 DT-5023BAT Replacement Battery 3.7V 1800mAh

Fujitsu iPAD 100 Series — 3.7V Li-ion Replacement Battery (DT-5023BAT)

This 3.7V, 1800mAh Li-ion battery replaces the original pack in the Fujitsu iPAD 100 family of handheld barcode scanners. It fits the iPAD 100, iPAD 100-10, iPAD 100-10RF, iPAD 100-14, and additional variants sharing the same battery bay. OEM part numbers covered include DT-5023BAT, DT-5024LBAT, and CA50601-1000.

• iPAD 100 series coverage: All listed variants run the same 3.7V supply rail, share an identical connector footprint, and use the same BMS handshake protocol — so one pack covers the full range without any modification.
• Bench tested on actual hardware: We cycled this pack through repeated scan-trigger and wireless polling events. The BMS held voltage steady through combined inrush draws and cut off cleanly at low-cell threshold with no false trips.
• First-shift preparation: After installing, seat the scanner in its cradle and run a full charge cycle before the first pick-and-pack shift. Scan trigger inrush is highest when the cell is near minimum, and starting the shift with a fully charged pack prevents BMS trips during the first burst of rapid scans.

Why the iPAD 100 drops wireless connection during rapid scan bursts

The iPAD 100 draws from the same cell for both the scan trigger and the wireless radio simultaneously. During rapid-fire scanning, the combined inrush pulls voltage down sharply. If the cell has any capacity fade, that voltage sag crosses the BMS cutoff threshold and the radio drops before the scan engine does. A fresh, fully charged pack raises the floor voltage enough to keep both loads stable through burst scanning.

Cradle showing a charging error after fitting a new pack

This error almost always comes from contact resistance at the dock pins, not a fault in the battery itself. Residue or slight oxidation on the pack's contact pads stops the dock from reading the pack correctly and it flags a charge fault. Wipe the gold contacts on both the battery and the cradle with a dry cloth, reseat the scanner firmly, and listen for the dock to confirm charge — the indicator should switch from error to charging within ten seconds.
