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 Dolphin 9500 Series peripherals, power cables, and power adapters. Use of peripherals, cables, or power adapters not
sold/manufactured by Hand Held Products will void the warranty and may damage the terminal.
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
battery.
