It fits the PDT8100, PDT8133, PDT8137, and PDT8142 handheld barcode scanners — mobile data terminals used in warehouse, retail, and inventory environments. Drop it in and the scanner powers on with no firmware prompts or configuration changes required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePDT8100 series compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    The PDT8133, PDT8137, and PDT8142 all share the same 3.7V cell format, connector pinout, and BMS handshake protocol as the base PDT8100. One pack covers the full series because the voltage rail and communication lines are identical across these variants.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    We ran this pack through charge and discharge cycles on a PDT8100 unit. The BMS reported cell voltage correctly to the scanner's power manager, and the charging circuit accepted the pack without error flags or cutoff events at any state of charge.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFirst-shift preparation:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    After installing, place the scanner in its cradle for a full charge cycle before taking it onto the floor. The scan trigger inrush current is highest when the cell is near minimum — a fully charged pack prevents false BMS trips during the first pick-and-pack shift.\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\"\u003eSymbol cradles read pack status through spring-loaded contact pins on the base of the scanner. If those contacts carry oxidation or debris, the cradle registers a communication fault and refuses to initiate the charge cycle. This is not a battery defect — it is a contact resistance problem. Wipe the gold contacts on both the pack and the cradle with a dry lint-free cloth, reseat the scanner firmly, and the charging LED should switch to solid amber within 10 seconds.\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\"\u003eThe PDT8100 draws current from two sources simultaneously during a fast scan sequence — the laser or imager module and the 802.11b radio transmitting scan data back to the host. That combined inrush can pull cell voltage below the BMS low-voltage threshold momentarily, causing the radio to drop its association. The scanner may reconnect automatically, but the data packet from the missed scan is lost. Keeping the pack above 20% charge before a high-volume shift reduces voltage sag enough to keep both subsystems stable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43325028794458,"sku":"BWCS-PDT8100-1","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43325028827226,"sku":"BWCS-PDT8100-2","price":33.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43325028859994,"sku":"BWCS-PDT8100-3","price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-PDT8100_1.webp?v=1778123493","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/symbol-pdt8100-replacement-battery-37v-2000mah-li-ion","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
