V

610 wireless terminals use Li-ion smart batteries (see Accessories and
Documentation for ordering information). 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 following are features of the smart battery:
• Two Li-ion cells
• A “fuel gauge” module that
• monitors state of charge (voltage and percentage of capacity),
• communicates with the terminal (charge parameters and status),
• determines full charge capacity (on charge cycle and uninterrupted
discharge cycle), and
• automatically shuts down when cell voltage is extremely low.
• A safety circuit that
• prevents cell damage from overcharge, over-discharge, or overheating
• activates when the battery is left in an unused terminal for extended
periods.
Installation
The V
x
610 smart battery fits in a slot on the back of the V
x
610 terminal, as shown
in Figure 29. The locking tab clicks when the battery is in place. The slot is keyed,
so that there is only one way to insert the battery.

NOTE
The V
x
610 terminal will operate on battery power or on power pack power. The
smart battery charger in the terminal will be active whenever the power pack is
connected.
NOTE
Conserve battery power by turning the V
x
610 terminal off when not in use. If the
terminal is not to be used for several days, remove the battery from the terminal
as it continues to discharge even when the terminal is turned off.
