Printer operations are slightly different when using the battery due to the difference in power connections and power loss scenarios. The battery is designed to maximize battery life, maintain print quality, and enable simple operations.
When you connect the printer’s external power supply to the battery, you wake up the battery. The battery then automatically determines if charging is needed.
The battery will not start charging until its charge level is below 90%. This feature has been designed to extend your battery’s life.
After charging commences, the battery will charge to 100% capacity and then enter Sleep mode.
When attached to the battery base, external power passes through the battery circuitry into the printer. The battery does not charge while printing or moving media.
The battery uses only a very small amount of power during Sleep mode so as to maximize the available charge stored in the battery.
It takes about two hours to charge a fully-discharged battery.
