Figure 9 20 VX 685/VX 690 INSTALLATION GUIDE Connecting Peripheral Devices to the Terminal via the MicroUSB Port S ETUP Battery Features Battery Features The terminal uses a single cell, 2450 mAh Li-ion battery (see Accessories and Documentation for ordering information). The internal logic of the battery prevents both overcharging and undercharging—a fault condition where the battery level goes well below the minimum acceptable charge and the battery becomes unusable. The battery has a safety circuit that prevents cell damage from overcharge, overdischarge, or overheating; and activates when the battery is left in an unused terminal for extended periods. • The battery is not customer-changeable and therefore should not be disconnected and removed. • Li-ion batteries are not affected by shallow charging. When the terminal has no external power source or battery, the coin cell battery provides power to the security circuit. • Disconnecting and removing the battery, as well as unplugging the terminal power pack, reduce the life of the coin cell battery, which does not recharge and must be replaced when drained. • Conserve battery power by turning the terminal off when not in use. • Keep the Li-ion battery inserted in the terminal and power up the terminal periodically to check the battery charge. Do not let the battery charge fall below 10% for extended periods of time as this may permanently diminish the battery capacity. Recharge the battery by attaching the micro-USB end of the power pack to the terminal and plugging the other end of the power pack into a wall outlet. See Battery Information for more specific information about battery. Battery Life VX 685 terminal keeps track of the charging current going into the battery. The battery is considered healthy until its capacity is reduced to 70% of the theoretical capacity.

VX 685/VX 690 INSTALLATION GUIDE 47 TROUBLESHOOTING G UIDELINES Transactions Fail To Process 48 VX 685/VX 690 INSTALLATION GUIDE APPENDIX A Battery Information The terminal uses a high-capacity Lithium-ion battery pack. The internal logic of the 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 Charging NOTE The terminal operates on battery power or on power pack power. The battery charger in the terminal remains active whenever the power pack is connected. The battery has a safety circuit to protect the Lithium-ion cells from overcharging and over-discharging. If the battery is over-discharged, the safety circuit shuts down the battery. Recharge the battery to restore operation. The terminal automatically shuts off when the battery reaches the critically low charge state. If this occurs, recharge the battery for a minimum of 30 minutes before it can power the terminal. A safety circuit that has been discharged below its critical state may take several recharge attempts to reset. Advantages Lithium-ion batteries have numerous advantages over other types of rechargeable batteries. High energy density Lithium-ion batteries have twice the energy density of standard nickel-cadmium batteries. This means they can store more energy than other rechargeable batteries. Light weight Lithium is the lightest metal enabling the manufacture of lightweight devices. Long Life Lithium-ion batteries require low maintenance. They do not exhibit memory effects, thereby eliminating the need for scheduled cycling to prolong the battery life. Does Not Require Prolonged Initial Charging Unlike their nickel-cadmium counterparts, lithium-ion batteries do not require prolonged initial charging. A regular charge cycle is enough. VX 685/VX 690 INSTALLATION GUIDE 49 B ATTERY I NFORMATION Charging Low Self-Discharge Rate Lithium-ion batteries have a lower self-discharge rate compared to other types of battery (the self-discharge rate for a lithium-ion battery is less than one-half of that of a nickel-cadmium battery). This means that once they are charged, they will retain their charge for a longer time than other types of rechargeable batteries. Other battery types can lose anywhere from 1-5% of their charge per day, (depending on the storage temperature) even if they are not installed in a terminal. Lithium-ion batteries will retain most of their charge even after months of storage. High Voltage Capacity Lithium-ion batteries operate at higher voltages than other rechargeable batteries, about 3.6 volts for lithium-ion versus 1.2 volts for nickel-metal-hydride or nickelcadmium batteries. This means a single cell can often be used rather than multiple metal-hydride or nickel-cadmium cells. Precautions Observe the following precautions when handling lithium-ion batteries. Aging Effects Battery packs are subject to aging, even when they are not used. • TIP Aging leads to deterioration in capacity or battery life. Storing the battery in a cool environment (25 °C or less) at 40% charge reduces the effects of aging. • Batteries fail after 2 or 3 years, or approximately 300 charge-discharge cycles. • Chemicals may also affect the aging properties of batteries. Transportation Restrictions • It is illegal to ship fully charge batteries by air because they may cause accidental explosions. • Shipment of large quantities of lithium-ion batteries may be subject to regulatory control. NOTE These precautions do not apply to personal carry-on battery packs. Storage Precautions • 50 Do not fully charge batteries before storage. Keep the batteries partially charged before storing them, then charge them fully before actual usage. VX 685/VX 690 INSTALLATION GUIDE B ATTERY I NFORMATION Notable Battery Specifications • Do not store batteries when they are fully depleted. Charge an empty battery for at least one hour before storage. When a depleted battery self discharges, it may become unusable. • Do not stock pile batteries. Avoid buying dated battery stocks even at reduced prices. Always check the date when the batteries were manufactured. WARNING Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. Lithium-ion batteries must be recycled or disposed of properly. Do not dispose of Lithium-ion batteries in municipal waste sites. Notable Battery Specifications The battery is designed to offer optimum protection to the terminals and their users. Safety/Protection The battery features a safety/protection circuit that provides the following benefits: Circuit • Limits the peak voltage in each cell during charging – a field effect transistor (FET) opens if voltage level in any cell reaches 4.28 V. • Prevents cell voltage from dropping too low during discharge – a field effect transistor (FET) opens if voltage in any cell reaches 2.3 V. • Limits the current going in and coming out of the battery pack. A field effect transistor (FET) opens the current path when charge current exceeds 6.5 A or when the discharge current exceeds 7 A. This prevents damage caused by shorting the battery contacts. Cell Temperature A discrete thermistor is built into the battery pack to prevent cell or terminal Monitoring damage during charging. The terminal’s OS monitors the cell temperature using the thermistor and automatically shuts down the charger if the temperature exceeds 50°C or falls below 0°C. ESD Protection Electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection: ±8 KV air discharge, ±4 KV contact discharge Trip Recovery The battery features a trip recovery system, which resolves faulty or hazardous conditions that led to a safety trip. Application of current through the charger resets the safety circuit. Battery FAQs Should I allow the battery to discharge completely before charging? No. It is better to recharge the battery often and avoid frequent full discharge. However, allow a full discharge once a month to enable reset. Should I charge the battery partially or fully? It does not matter whether you charge the battery fully or partially. Charging a full battery will not harm the battery. VX 685/VX 690 INSTALLATION GUIDE 51 B ATTERY I NFORMATION Battery Specific Terms and Definitions Should I charge the battery before putting it into storage? It is advisable to store the battery with a 40% charge. However, storing the battery in a cool place is more important than the state of charge. Make sure the battery is not fully depleted before storage otherwise, the safety/protection circuit may trip. Will the battery heat up during charging? It is normal for the battery to emit a small amount of heat during charging. The battery is equipped with a temperature sensor that will disrupt the flow of charge current when extreme temperature levels are detected. NOTE Battery Specific Terms and Definitions The recommended operating temperature for the terminal is from 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F).
