About the Battery
The tablet uses a rechargeable Li-ion battery as its main power source. Several
factors determine the life of your battery, such as display brightness, display
timeout, input device, extreme temperature, and usage. Honeywell recommends
that you keep the battery charged at all times to prevent data loss.
EDA10A tablets are designed for use with battery model BAT-EDA10A
manufactured for Honeywell International Inc.
Note: To view specifications specific to your battery model, see the battery insert supplied
with the battery.

User Guide, available on the EDA10A product page at sps.honeywell.com. Contact
your local sales representative for replacement battery ordering information.
Charge the Battery
EDA10A tablets ship with the battery significantly discharged of power. Fully
charge the battery before using your tablet for the first time. A fully discharged
battery charges in approximately 5 hours.
Note: Using the tablet while charging the battery increases the time required to reach a full
charge.
Charge the Battery Before Use
The mobile computer ships with a partially charged battery. Charge the battery
with an EDA10A charging device for a minimum of 5 hours.
Note: Using the computer while charging the battery increases the time required to reach
a full charge.
About the USB Type C Connector
You can use a USB cable to charge the mobile computer from a host device (e.g.,
laptop or desktop computer). The connected host device must supply a minimum
power output of 5V, 0.5A to the mobile computer.
Note: If the mobile computer is drawing more current than supplied by the charging source,
charging will not take place.
Battery Replacement
When battery power is low, you have the choice to either charge the battery in the
tablet or replace it with another fully charged battery. Spare batteries can be
purchased separately.
Before Attempting to Remove the Battery
Always do one of the following before removing the battery:
Caution: Improper battery replacement or incompatible device usage may
result in risk of burns, fire, explosion, or other hazard. Dispose of
lithium-ion batteries according to local regulations. Risk of fire and
burns if improperly handled. Do not open, crush, heat above 60°C
(140°F), or incinerate.
Caution: Ensure all components are dry prior to placing the battery in the
computer terminal. Mating wet components may cause damage not
covered by the warranty.
