  • Page 49: A Battery Information Charging

    PPENDIX Battery Information The terminal uses a high-capacity Lithium-ion battery pack. The internal logic of the battery prevents both overcharging and undercharging (a fault condition in which the battery level goes well below the minimum acceptable charge and the battery becomes unusable). NOTE The terminal operates on battery power or on power pack power.
  • Page 50: Precautions

    ATTERY NFORMATION Charging Low Self-Discharge Rate Lithium-ion batteries have a lower self-discharge rate compared to other types of battery (the self-discharge rate for a lithium-ion battery is less than one-half of that of a nickel-cadmium battery). This means that once they are charged, they will retain their charge for a longer time than other types of rechargeable batteries.
  • Page 51: Notable Battery Specifications

    ATTERY NFORMATION Notable Battery Specifications • Do not store batteries when they are fully depleted. Charge an empty battery for at least one hour before storage. When a depleted battery self discharges, it may become unusable. • Do not stock pile batteries. Avoid buying dated battery stocks even at reduced prices.
  • Page 52: Battery Specific Terms And Definitions

    ATTERY NFORMATION Battery Specific Terms and Definitions Should I charge the battery before putting it into storage? It is advisable to store the battery with a 40% charge. However, storing the battery in a cool place is more important than the state of charge. Make sure the battery is not fully depleted before storage otherwise, the safety/protection circuit may trip.
  • Page 53 ATTERY NFORMATION General Battery Terms and Definitions Battery Cell The battery cell is the basic electrochemical unit used to store energy. Each cell is typically rated 3.7 V. The terminal uses one lithium-ion rechargeable cell per battery pack. Battery Pack A battery pack is an assembly of battery cells, safety circuit, temperature sensor, terminal contacts, and plastic case.
  • Page 54 ATTERY NFORMATION General Battery Terms and Definitions Charging Refers to the process of converting electrical energy, in the form of electric current, from an external source (charger) into chemical energy within a battery cell. Current The flow of electrons through a conductor, measured in amperes Cycle This refers to the number of charge/discharge cycles the battery can endure before it loses its ability to store useful charge.
  • Page 55 ATTERY NFORMATION General Battery Terms and Definitions Shelf-Life The length of storage under specified conditions that a battery can endure while retaining the ability to give a satisfactory performance upon full charge. NOTE The shelf life of the terminal battery pack is 6 months at 30% initial charge. Voltage This is the unit of potential power or electric pressure, which is the force that causes current to flow through an electric conductor.
