Using the Smart Battery

The Vx670 terminal uses an Li-ion smart battery (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).

NOTE The Vx670 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.

Smart Battery Features

Two Li-ion cells

A fuel gauge module that:

monitors state of charge (voltage and percentage of capacity),
