Dolphin ChargeBase

Overview

The Dolphin ChargeBase is a four-slot charging cradle that can power four Dolphin terminals, and charge their main batteries in less than four hours.

Charging

The Dolphin ChargeBase completes a full charge of the main battery pack in less than four hours. The ChargeBase also provides power to the intelligent battery charging system in all Dolphin terminals that senses when a full charge has been achieved and switches to a trickle charge to maintain the full charge.

As battery packs charge, the charging circuitry follows the two-step charging process (CC-CV) that is recommended for Li-Ion batteries. The process monitors changes in temperature, current, and voltage.

Convenient Storage

Intelligent battery charging makes the Dolphin ChargeBase a safe and convenient storage receptacle for your Dolphin terminal.

Capacity

The ChargeBase can hold up to four Dolphin terminals. Each charging slot charges each terminal independently of the other slots.

Use only the Li-ion battery packs provided by Hand Held Products. The use of any battery pack not sold/manufactured by Hand ! Held Products in Dolphin 9500 Series terminals will void your warranty and may result in damage to the Dolphin terminal or
