Claim 17:
18. A method, comprising:
detecting whether an internal power source of a handheld scanner has reached a pre-determined amount of charge at which the internal power source is to be shut down to prevent damage to the internal power source, the internal power source having an active state in which output power is provided to components of the handheld scanner, and a shutdown state in which no output power is provided; and
when the internal power source has reached the pre-determined amount of charge:
configuring an indicator of the handheld scanner to indicate that the internal power source is in the shutdown state, wherein the indicator can indicate the shutdown state while the internal power source is in the shutdown state, and
configuring the internal power source into the shutdown state such that the components of the handheld scanner are de-energized.
