Operation

When operating the FS-5 at 12V rather than 14.4V, the power
consumed remains the same, but the current draw increases
by a factor of 1.2 (14.4/12.0).
The Linksys dongle uses approximately 1.35W. This
represents about 30% of the power budget when not charging
the batteries.
When charging the batteries, the FS-5 apples as much power
as possible to the battery, up to a limit of about 1A charging
current. However, the overall power system limits the total
amount of current consumed to about 0.6 A maximum based
on the 15V input adapter.
The result is that when a big load is added, such as a
discharged battery and the dongle, the FS-5 automatically
reduces the amount of the charging current so that the total
current through the adapter never exceeds approximately 0.6
Amps.
