It replaces OEM part numbers A2802-0005-02, A2802005204, and 1080177. Capacity is 3.84Wh — matched to the original specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWorkabout MX, RF, and Series platform fit:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    All three Workabout variants share the same 2.4V two-cell Ni-MH pack format, connector pinout, and physical footprint. One battery covers the full platform without modification.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    We cycled this pack through charge and discharge on Workabout-class hardware and confirmed the BMS accepted charge from the cradle without error codes. Cell balance held across five full cycles before the pack left the bench.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFirst-shift cradle conditioning:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    Before deploying on a pick-and-pack shift, seat the scanner in its cradle and complete a full charge cycle. The scan trigger inrush current peaks when the cell voltage is near minimum — a pre-charged pack prevents false BMS trips on the first heavy scan burst of the day.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eCradle showing a charging error on a new pack\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003ePsion Workabout cradles use contact-based charging, and any oxidation or debris on the battery's gold contacts creates enough resistance to trigger a fault. The cradle reads this as a pack rejection rather than a contact issue, so it flags an error instead of starting the charge cycle. Wipe the pack contacts and the cradle rails with a dry lint-free cloth, then firmly reseat the scanner. If the error clears, the contacts were the cause — not the pack or the dock electronics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eScanner losing wireless connection during rapid scan bursts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eDuring a rapid scan burst, the imager and the RF radio draw current simultaneously. On a degraded or deeply discharged pack, that combined inrush pulls the cell voltage below the radio module's minimum operating threshold — the wireless link drops before the scan trigger even completes. This is a load-spike issue, not a signal issue. Charge the pack fully before the shift and confirm cell voltage sits above 2.3V under load; if connection drops persist on a fully charged pack, the cells have degraded and the pack needs replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43324996714586,"sku":"BWCS-SMXP100BL-1","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43324996747354,"sku":"BWCS-SMXP100BL-2","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43324996780122,"sku":"BWCS-SMXP100BL-3","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-SMXP100BL_1.webp?v=1778123452","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/psion-workabout-mx-series-replacement-battery-24v-1600mah-ni-mh","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
