Xplorer Battery Replacement Overview:
The Eppendorf Xplorer uses a 3.7V, 750mAh Lithium Polymer battery that provides many hours of reliable use and operation. In most cases, the battery will provide between 300-500 complete recharging cycles before replacement is needed. This equates to roughly 3-5 years with proper use. With this battery, the mfg./install date was 10.2020 meaning possible replacement could occur between October 2023-2025.

Of course, battery replacement depends on several factors including but not limited to:
- Will it recharge? What does the LCD battery logo show?
- Are you using the manufacturer recommended wall power supply (WPS) and recharging stand? (strongly recommended)
- Are you storing the pipette and battery in a cool, comfortable, and ambient-like conditions?
- When not in use, is the battery being stored at 40%-50% of capacity to help prolong battery life?
- Remember: DO NOT over charge or over discharge battery. Most pipettes have built in processes to regulate this from occurring, but it’s worth noting.
