Configuration

The Battery Health Manager configuration file stores all the warning and replacement messages that display in the app. The configuration file also contains default values for battery configuration.

The configuration file is read each time the application starts. After making changes to this file, you can restart the tablet or the app. To restart the app, go to the system tray and select

Battery Health Monitor

Exit

, and then

Start

Battery Health Monitor

The configuration file is located on the device at

C:\ProgramData\Zebra Technologies\BatteryManager\AppSetting_ConfigInfo.ini

Detailed comments inside the file describe each of the default values.

Because device temperature and workload affect battery SOH, systems running in extreme temperatures or heavy device workloads may require different default thresholds.
