Battery Options
6820 Series 80-Column Printer User's Manual
The following battery options are available for the 6820 Printers. See "In-
side Sales" for ordering information and part numbers.
Internal Battery
This battery (P/N: 317-075-001) allows the portable printer and some
fixed mount printers to operate independently of other power sources.
The 6820 Printer discharges the internal battery even when the printer is
not is use.
Over time, the internal battery can discharge to the point where the bat-
tery is not recoverable.
This issue is seen especially when the battery is new and the battery chemi-
cal reactions are not fully formed or the printer has had only one charge
cycle.
When possible, plug the printer into an external charge source or discon-
nect the battery when you store the printer for any length of time.
Vehicle Battery
A power cable provides power to the printer through a cable permanently
installed in the vehicle.
