Janam BAT-T1-002 3000mAh 3.8V Lithium-Ion Battery
The Janam BAT-T1-002 is a 3000mAh 3.8V lithium-ion replacement battery engineered for the Janam XT2 Series rugged mobile computers used in warehouse, retail, and field-service operations. This battery restores full-shift runtime to aging or degraded units without requiring adapters, firmware updates, or reconfiguration. For operations where device uptime directly drives productivity — inventory counts, price checks, mobile POS, service dispatch — a worn battery turns a reliable workhorse into a liability. The BAT-T1-002 is the straightforward path back to full runtime per shift.
Key Features
- Capacity and Voltage: 3000mAh at 3.8V nominal. Delivers full-runtime restoration on XT2 devices that have experienced battery degradation or loss of useful charge cycles.
- Lithium-Ion Chemistry: No memory effect — partial-cycle charging does not degrade cycle life. Typical lifespan 500+ full discharge cycles before capacity reaches 80% of nominal.
- XT2 Series Exclusive Fit: Mechanically and electrically designed for Janam XT2 mobile computers only. Direct-fit connector, no adapter or bridging required. Verify device compatibility before purchase.
- Factory-New Condition: Genuine Janam replacement battery from channel-direct sourcing — not refurbished, not parallel import. Includes manufacturer warranty coverage.
- Tool-Free Installation: No screwdrivers, clips, or special removal jigs. Power down the device, remove battery door, slide out old battery, insert BAT-T1-002 until it clicks, close door. Field-serviceable in under 60 seconds.
- Charge Conditioning: First full charge conditions the cells and ensures the XT2's battery-management firmware reports accurate remaining runtime. Improves forecast reliability for field staff planning shift duration.
- Cost-Effective Lifecycle Extension: Battery replacement is typically 10-20% of the cost of a replacement mobile computer. For XT2 devices still within operational warranty, BAT-T1-002 extends productive life by 2-4 years depending on duty cycle and environmental conditions.
The XT2 Series is designed for high-utilization environments — 8-12 hour shifts, rugged handling, temperature swings, and continuous scanning. Battery degradation is inevitable; lithium-ion capacity fades roughly 5-10% per year under normal use. Once an XT2 reaches 60-70% of nominal battery capacity, users report noticeable runtime loss and field-shift interruptions. Swapping in a fresh BAT-T1-002 restores the device to near-original runtime performance without replacing the entire unit.
Janam XT2 devices are typically deployed across large retail chains, 3PL warehouses, and field-service contractors where device density is high (50-500+ units per deployment). Battery replacement cycles are predictable and planned — integrators and end-user IT teams should maintain a spare-parts inventory of BAT-T1-002 units equal to 10-15% of their installed XT2 fleet. This approach eliminates the emergency procurement delay and ensures downtime is measured in hours, not days.
Compatibility is binary: the XT2 Series (all variants: XT2, XT2R, XT2e, XT25) accept the BAT-T1-002. Earlier Janam models (XT1, CL1100, XT40) use different battery connectors and will not accept this battery. Confirm your device model before ordering.

The BAT-T1-002 is one of the most straightforward spares-inventory decisions we encounter in warehouse and retail deployments. Janam XT2 devices are workhorses — we've seen them running 10+ years in large retail networks — and battery degradation is the primary cause of planned lifecycle refresh. Unlike screen cracks or wear-related button failure, a degraded battery is predictable and replaceable before the device becomes unreliable. In a 200-unit XT2 deployment, you'll typically see the first battery replacements at 3-4 years of operation, with replacement volume ramping to 30-40% of the fleet annually thereafter. The cost-per-replacement is low enough that proactive swaps before a user's runtime drops below 6 hours keep field morale high and reduce the downstream pressure to budget for hardware refresh. We recommend stocking 15-20% spare BAT-T1-002 units — a 200-unit site keeps 30-40 batteries on hand. The alternative (emergency field shipments or overnight air delivery) costs 3-5x more than the spare inventory sit.
Technical Highlights:
- 3000mAh Capacity at 3.8V Nominal: Typical XT2 runtime under continuous scanning/Wi-Fi load is 8-10 hours from a fresh BAT-T1-002 under moderate temperature (68-77°F). Cold warehouse environments (35-45°F) see runtime reduction of 15-25%; plan accordingly in refrigerated or outdoor shipping operations. Heat (above 90°F) accelerates capacity fade during charging cycles.
- Lithium-Ion Chemistry (Likely LiPo or Li-ion Cell Pack): No memory effect means users can top off the battery multiple times per shift without degrading cycle life. This is operationally important in warehouse settings where devices are docked during lunch or administrative breaks. Partial-cycle charging extends overall battery lifespan compared to nickel-cadmium or nickel-metal hydride.
- 500+ Full Discharge Cycles: Assuming proper charge management (no over-discharge below 10%, no sustained heat exposure), a BAT-T1-002 typical lifespan is 2-3 years in a high-utilization warehouse (250+ charge cycles per year). At year 3, capacity typically drops to 75-80% of nominal; consider planned replacement before users experience runtime surprises.
- Factory-New, Channel-Direct Sourcing: Counterfeit batteries and parallel-import cells are a real problem in the mobile-device spare-parts market. Sourced genuine from Janam or authorized US distributor — no grey-market risk, no undisclosed refurbished inventory. Includes full manufacturer warranty.
Deployment Considerations:
- Verify XT2 Series compatibility before bulk order — earlier Janam models (XT1, CL1100) and later models (XT5) use different connectors. A wrong-spec order is dead inventory with no resale path.
- Train warehouse/retail IT to condition the first charge (full discharge, then full charge cycle) immediately after installation. This ensures the XT2's firmware-level battery gauge is calibrated and runtime estimates are accurate for field staff.
- Cold-warehouse environment (below 40°F continuous): expect 20-25% runtime reduction. If your deployment is refrigerated storage or outdoor logistics, consider purchasing a 10% spare stock above the typical 15-20% recommendation to offset shorter effective battery lifespan.
- Stock rotation: older BAT-T1-002 units should be cycled into service first (FIFO). Lithium-ion cells self-discharge and age even when not in use. Battery sitting on a shelf for 18+ months may not deliver full 3000mAh capacity until reconditioned through a full charge cycle on the device.
- Docking-station charging: if your XT2 devices are primarily charged via cradle/dock rather than wall charger, confirm the dock power output matches the BAT-T1-002 charge specs. Undersized dock power supplies prolong charge time and may not fully condition new batteries.
The BAT-T1-002 is essential spares-inventory for any mature XT2 deployment. If you're running 30+ XT2 devices and haven't yet budgeted replacement batteries, you're one failed battery away from unplanned downtime and emergency procurement cost. Stock 15-20% of your installed base and rotate proactively at year 3 of device operation. See the Janam catalog for additional XT2 accessories and device models.
