Honeywell 60S-BATT-1 Dolphin 60s Replacement Battery 3.7V 1600mAh

Honeywell Dolphin 60s — 3.7V Li-ion Replacement Battery (60S-BATT-1)

This is a 3.7V, 1600mAh Li-ion replacement battery for the Honeywell Dolphin 60s mobile computer. It also fits the Captuvo SL42 Sled, Healthcare Sled, and Dolphin 70e. The OEM part numbers it replaces are 60S-BATT-1, 70e-BTEC, and BAT-EXTENDED-01.

• Cross-platform fit — Dolphin 60s, 70e, and SL42 Sled: These devices share the same 3.7V cell format, connector pinout, and BMS handshake protocol. One pack covers the full family without firmware conflicts or charge-error flags on the dock.
• Bench tested on actual hardware: We ran this pack through charge and discharge cycles on a Dolphin 60s cradle. The BMS accepted the charge handshake immediately, held voltage within spec across simulated scan-burst loads, and tripped the protection circuit cleanly at the low-voltage cutoff threshold.
• First-shift cradle protocol: After installing this pack, seat the scanner in its cradle for a full charge cycle before pulling it onto the floor. Scan trigger inrush current peaks when the cell is near minimum charge. A fully charged cell prevents false BMS trips during the first pick-and-pack shift.

Cradle showing a charging error on a brand-new pack

A new Li-ion cell ships in a partial-charge state, typically between 40–60% capacity. Some Dolphin cradles read this as an anomaly and throw a charge-error LED instead of starting the charge cycle. The fix is almost always contact-related — the dock's spring contacts oxidise and add resistance that the BMS interprets as a fault. Wipe the gold contacts on the battery and the cradle cup with a dry cloth, reseat the pack firmly, and the charge indicator should switch to solid green within 30 seconds.

Scanner losing wireless connection during rapid scan bursts

During a rapid scan sequence, the imager and the radio transmit simultaneously — that combined inrush can pull the cell voltage down momentarily on a degraded or low-charge pack. When voltage sags below the radio module's minimum threshold, the Dolphin drops its wireless link and needs to re-associate with the access point. This does not happen because of a bad antenna or network issue — it is a cell-voltage problem. Charge the replacement pack fully in the cradle before use and the voltage sag disappears at the 3.7V nominal level this pack holds under combined draw.
