Dolphin® QuadCharger
Dolphin QuadCharger Parts and Function
The Dolphin® QuadCharger provides intelligent battery management
for NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride) Dolphin 7400/7450 battery packs.
This device fully charges as many as four NiMH batteries in 2.5
hours. Charging slots work independently to control charging and
discharging of individual battery packs. The QuadCharger is
compatible with all models in the Dolphin® 7400/7450 family of hand
held computers.
As battery packs charge, the charging circuitry follows a three-step
process that senses changes in temperature and voltage and drops
to a trickle charge when the packs are fully charged. This feature
allows the user to leave batteries in the charger indefinitely, which
maintains the batteries at peak capacity without damage. The
charger also resets and calibrates battery pack data to accurately
show battery status on the Dolphin display.
The QuadCharger conditions and calibrates batteries for longer, more
consistent performance.
