Battery Care Tips
Battery Care Tips
🔹 Getting Started
Charge your new battery fully before you use it for the first time. Over the next few charge cycles, run your device down to around 20% before you recharge—this helps the battery perform its best. After that, charge whenever you need to.
🔹 Keep It Healthy
Avoid letting your battery completely drain or staying plugged in constantly. Both extremes wear it out faster. Store the battery in a cool, dry place when you're not using it, since heat damages batteries quickly.
Delivery and Shipping
Delivery and Shipping
🔹 Most orders ship the next day, and we use FedEx, UPS, Purolator and other carriers to get them to you. Lithium batteries have to ship by ground only, not air or USPS. Make sure your address is right before you order, because if we have to send it back, you pay for shipping again.

Point Mobile PM85 / PM90 — 3.85V Li-ion Replacement Battery (85-BTSC)
This is a 3.85V, 3000mAh Li-ion battery carrying OEM part number 85-BTSC. It fits the Point Mobile PM85 and PM90 rugged handheld mobile computers — barcode scanners used in warehouse, retail, and logistics environments. Dimensions are 76.10 × 53.90 × 7.10mm, matching the original pack profile exactly.
- PM85 and PM90 platform compatibility: Both models run the same 3.85V battery architecture and share the 85-BTSC connector footprint and BMS handshake protocol. One pack covers both devices without modification.
- Bench tested on actual hardware: We ran this pack through full charge and discharge cycles on the PM85 platform. The BMS communicated correctly with the device OS, charge acceptance was normal, and no cutoff faults triggered during scan-burst simulation.
- First-shift prep for pick-and-pack use: After installing the new pack, seat the scanner in its cradle for a complete charge cycle before deployment. Scan trigger inrush current peaks when the cell is near minimum — a fully charged cell prevents false BMS trips on the first shift.
Cradle showing a charging error on a new 85-BTSC pack
A new pack sitting in storage accumulates surface oxidation on its contact pads. When dock contact resistance rises above the cradle's threshold, the dock misreads the connection and flags a charge fault — not a battery defect. Wipe the gold contacts on both the pack and the cradle dock with a dry lint-free cloth, then reseat firmly. If the error clears, run a full charge cycle before use. If the error persists after cleaning, check the cradle's spring pins for debris or deformation.
Scanner losing wireless connection during rapid scan bursts
Rapid barcode scanning combines two simultaneous inrush events — the imager firing and the Wi-Fi or Bluetooth radio polling — pulling current that can briefly sag cell voltage below the radio module's minimum operating threshold. The PM85 then drops the wireless session rather than hard-crash. This happens most often when the battery is below 20% state of charge. Keep the pack above that threshold during high-frequency scan shifts, and check that the wireless poll interval in the device settings is not set to its shortest value, which amplifies the combined draw.

Frequently Asked Questions
My PM85 stopped reading barcodes right after I put in the new battery — what's wrong?
The imager needs a minimum voltage to fire reliably, and a new pack shipped in storage state may sit below that threshold. Seat the scanner in its cradle and charge it fully before triggering any scans. We confirmed on the bench that the 85-BTSC charges normally from a low state — a complete cradle cycle before first use resolves this in every case we tested. Once at full charge, the imager fires correctly on the first trigger press.
The scanner runs noticeably shorter shifts than the old battery even though the new pack reads as fully charged — why?
Scan burst frequency and wireless polling together draw more current than most users expect from a 3.85V cell. If the device's scan trigger sensitivity or Wi-Fi polling interval changed around the same time as the battery swap, that combination — not the cell capacity — is usually the cause. Check the device's power management settings and compare the wireless poll rate to what was set on the previous unit. Reduce the poll interval one step and measure shift endurance again before drawing any conclusions about the pack itself.
The PM85 feels warm near the battery bay after a long warehouse shift — is that normal?
Sustained scan-and-transmit cycles — common in pick-and-pack environments — keep both the imager and the radio module active for extended periods inside an enclosed housing. Heat accumulates because there is no active airflow around the cell. Surface temperature up to roughly 40°C on the back panel is within normal operating range for Li-ion under this load profile. If the device is hot enough to trigger an on-screen thermal warning or shuts itself down, move it to a cooler environment for 10 minutes and check that the battery compartment cover is fully seated with no gap that could disrupt thermal contact.
