Intermec CV41 Barcode Scanner Replacement Battery 10.8V 3400mAh

Intermec CV41 / VM1376 — 10.8V Li-ion Replacement Battery (160000-0000)

This 10.8V 3400mAh lithium-ion battery replaces the original pack in the Intermec CV41 mobile computer and VM1376. The CV41 is a rugged handheld used in warehouse, logistics, and retail environments for barcode scanning and data collection. Voltage and cell chemistry match OEM spec exactly.

• CV41 and VM1376 compatibility: Both models share the same 10.8V battery bay, connector pinout, and BMS handshake protocol — one pack fits either unit without modification or adapter.
• Bench tested on actual hardware: We ran this pack through charge and discharge cycles on the CV41 platform. The BMS accepted full charge without fault codes, and the protection circuit responded correctly to simulated over-discharge at 9.0V cutoff.
• First-shift preparation: After installing, seat the scanner in its cradle for a complete charge cycle before the first pick-and-pack shift. Scan trigger inrush current spikes highest when the cell is near minimum — starting from a full charge prevents false BMS trips during high-frequency scanning bursts early in the shift.

Cradle showing charging error on a new CV41 battery pack

A charging error on the CV41 dock after a battery swap is almost always contact resistance, not a faulty cell. Dock contacts accumulate dust and oxidation from warehouse environments, and a new pack with slightly different contact pressure can break the connection the old degraded pack had worn into. Wipe the battery contacts and dock contacts with a dry lint-free cloth, then reseat firmly. If the error clears within 30 seconds of reseating, the pack is fine — the dock contact was the fault.

CV41 dropping wireless connection during rapid scan bursts

During high-frequency scanning, the CV41 draws from both the imager and the wireless radio simultaneously. If the cell voltage sags under that combined load, the radio drops its connection before the scanner fully cuts out — the imager stays on but the data link fails. This typically appears mid-shift when the pack is below 30% charge. Keeping the pack above 20% state of charge during active scan sessions prevents the voltage from sagging below the radio's minimum operating threshold, which sits around 9.5V under load on this platform.
