Intermec 710 Barcode Scanner Compatible Battery 7.4V 3400mAh

Intermec 710 / 720 / 730 Series — 7.4V Li-ion Replacement Battery (318-013-001)

This 7.4V, 3400mAh Li-ion battery replaces the original pack in the Intermec 710, 720, and 730 handheld barcode scanners. It fits the full 700 series platform used in warehouse pick-and-pack, retail inventory, and logistics data collection. Capacity matches the OEM specification — 25.16Wh.

• 700 series platform fit: The 710, 720, and 730 share the same 7.4V battery rail, connector pinout, and BMS handshake protocol — one pack covers all three. The cell group configuration and contact layout are identical across this generation of Intermec mobile computers.
• Bench tested on actual hardware: We cycled this pack on a 730 unit and monitored BMS behaviour through repeated scan-trigger and wireless polling sequences. The protection circuit held stable across combined inrush events without tripping or dropping the voltage rail below the scanner's minimum operating threshold.
• First-shift preparation: After installing the new pack, seat the scanner in its cradle and run a full charge cycle before the first pick shift. Scan-trigger inrush current is highest when the cell is near minimum — a fully charged pack prevents false BMS cutoff trips during the opening burst of a high-volume shift.

Cradle showing charging error on a new pack

A charging error on the dock does not always mean a faulty battery. The Intermec cradle reads pack status through pogo-pin contacts, and any oxide layer or debris on the battery's gold contact pads interrupts that signal. The dock interprets a broken handshake as a charge fault and stops the charge cycle. Wipe the pack contacts with a dry lint-free cloth, reseat the scanner firmly, and confirm the charge indicator clears within 30 seconds.

Scanner losing wireless connection during rapid scan bursts

During rapid scanning sequences, the 700 series draws current from two sources simultaneously — the imager or laser and the 802.11 radio. The combined inrush spike can push instantaneous draw high enough to cause a momentary voltage sag. If the cell is partially discharged, that sag crosses the radio module's minimum supply threshold and the wireless link drops. Charge the pack to full before a high-volume shift and check that the battery contacts are clean — a resistive connection amplifies voltage sag under combined load.
