TSC 98-0520038-00LF Alpha 4L Li-ion Battery
Overview
The TSC 98-0520038-00LF is a 4L lithium-ion battery pack designed as a user-installable option for TSC Alpha series mobile computing and printing devices. This battery delivers extended runtime for warehouse, logistics, and field-service operations where continuous power availability is critical—typically 8+ hours of intermittent printing or scanning per charge depending on duty cycle. The compact 0.6 lb form factor fits TSC's mobile device chassis without adding significant weight to a technician's carry load.
Compatibility
The 98-0520038-00LF is compatible with TSC Alpha series mobile printers and portable label printers that support Li-ion battery configurations. Verify your specific TSC device model supports this battery form factor before ordering—check your device's battery compartment specification or contact TSC technical support with your device model number. The battery integrates via wired connector and includes LCD display functionality for fuel-gauge status integration on compatible devices.
Installation Notes
This is a user-replaceable battery—no special tools or torque specifications required. Simply remove the existing battery from your TSC device (power off first), align the connector pins, and insert into the battery compartment until seated. The Li-ion chemistry requires standard lithium battery handling: avoid exposure to water, store in a cool dry environment (avoid freezing), and do not short-circuit the terminals. Charge using the TSC-supplied or TSC-approved charger only; incompatible chargers may damage the battery or create safety hazards. Typical charge time is 3–4 hours depending on charger model.
