LXE 2280 Barcode Scanner Replacement Battery 7.2V 1200mAh

LXE 2280 / 2285 / 2286 Series — 7.2V Ni-MH Replacement Battery (9280160)

This 7.2V, 1200mAh Ni-MH battery replaces the original pack in the LXE 2280, 2285, and 2286 handheld barcode scanners. It matches OEM part numbers 9280160, 155467-00, 152282-000-1, and 152290-0001, among others. Fits units used across retail, warehouse, and logistics pick-and-pack environments.

• 2280 / 2285 / 2286 platform compatibility: These three scanner models share the same battery bay geometry, contact layout, and 7.2V supply rail. The BMS handshake is identical across the series, so one pack serves all three without any adapter or modification.
• Bench tested on actual hardware: We ran this pack through full charge and discharge cycles on a 2280 unit. The BMS held cutoff voltage correctly at the low-end threshold and accepted charge termination from the OEM cradle without fault codes.
• First-shift cradle protocol: After installing, seat the scanner in its cradle for a complete charge cycle before the first scan session. The scan trigger draws its highest inrush current when the cell is near minimum — a fully charged cell prevents a false BMS trip during the first burst of the shift.

Cradle showing a charging error on a new pack

LXE cradles read the battery through spring-loaded dock contacts, and a new pack often ships with slight oxidation or residue on the contact pads. High contact resistance causes the dock to report a charge fault before current even flows. Wipe the gold contacts on both the battery and the cradle bay with a dry lint-free cloth, then reseat firmly. If the error clears, the cell was fine — the contact surface was the issue.

Scanner dropping wireless connection during rapid scan bursts

During a fast scan sequence, the laser or imager and the wireless radio draw simultaneously. If the cell voltage sags under that combined load, the radio drops its connection before the scanner shows any low-battery indicator. This is more pronounced on Ni-MH cells that have been partially discharged. Start each shift from a full charge and the voltage headroom keeps both subsystems stable through heavy burst scanning.
