Backup Battery
The MX6 has a backup battery that is designed to provide limited-duration electrical power in the
event of main battery pack failure. The backup battery is a 3.6V NiMH battery that is factory
installed in the unit. The need for recharging of the backup battery is automatically detected and
controlled by the MX6. The energy needed to charge the backup battery comes from the main
battery. It takes several hours of operation before the backup battery is capable of supporting the
operation of the computer. The duration of backup battery life is dependent upon operation of the
MX6, it’s features and any operating applications.
External power connected to an MX6 (containing a battery pack) recharges the main battery pack
and the backup battery. The MX6 can be directly connected to external power, or receiving power
through the connector in a powered docking cradle.
Letting the backup battery become fully discharged causes the MX6 to lose all data in RAM.
LXE recommends frequent MX6 connection to an external power source to maintain charge in the
backup battery.
The backup battery is replaced by LXE.
