NOTE
VX 680 terminal uses a 7.2 V 1800 mAh Lithium-ion smart battery pack (Sanyo,
Samsung, and Palladium). The internal logic of the smart 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).
The VX 680 terminal operates on battery power or on power pack power. The
smart battery charger in the terminal remains active whenever the power pack is
connected.
VX 680 comes with a high-capacity battery pack.
The following are features of the smart battery:
•
Two Lithium-ion cells.
•
A fuel gauge module that:
•
Monitors state of charge (voltage and current).
•
Communicates with the terminal (charge parameters and status to indicate
full charge).
•
Determines full charge capacity (on charge cycle and uninterrupted
discharge cycle).
•
Automatically shuts down when cell voltage is extremely low.
Conserve battery power by turning the VX 680 terminal off when not in use. If the
terminal will not be used for several months, remove the smart battery pack from
the terminal.
