To organize reliable operation of data capture terminals, more comfortable use, as well as to extend the life of the PDA, various types of accessories and components are provided for mobile data capture terminals, wearables terminals, vehicle computers and industrial tablets. First of all, these are batteries, communication chargers or simply battery chargers, styluses, pistol grips, belts and cases for PDAs. Optional wrist, belt, or forklift accessories provide hands-free comfort and productivity, while straps allow data terminals to be worn on the wrist and waist. Scanning equipment is easy to insert and remove from the belt, stand.
For continuous operation to the terminals, it is recommended to buy a spare battery so that at any time you can replace a discharged battery with a replacement one. Get slightly fewer hours of charge from the standard battery, or opt for an extended battery for extended hours, perfect for long or double shifts.
Mobile data capture terminals can be charged via a cable, but chargers are used to charge batteries, communication chargers are also popular, having the form of a battery charging stand with an additional slot (hole) for scanning devices. Such charging bases also come in 4 or 6 terminals. They are often used in enterprises with a large number of PDTs to save space and power from a single socket. Point Mobile's unique communication and charging cradles connect to each other and also allow you to use only one socket.
The data terminal can also be equipped with a pistol grip, which can be part of the housing or can be attached to the device if required. With an ergonomic pistol grip, you can scan a barcode by pressing the scan start button on the bottom of the body, speeding up data collection.
By using used data terminals as donors, upon your request, we can carry out repairs cheaply, while we offer replacement of external worn parts and modernization of data terminals if the appearance of the equipment is important to you.
To begin with, let us mention that, like any mobile device, a data capture terminal, a transport computer, a memory scanner, a wireless barcode scanner, an industrial tablet is equipped with a battery that lasts for a certain time (the more powerful the battery, the more hours it lasts). You can charge all these devices via cable, but it is much more convenient to charge in special devices. How long the PDA is charging will depend on the battery power (mAh).
Charging stations (cradles) for mobile terminals EDA are of several types:
1) In addition to the cable for charging the PDA there are “snap on” devices equipped with durable connectors and designed for multiple connections. You extend the life of your device and provide fast charging via USB or USB-C connector by snapping on the charging terminal.
2) Battery chargers. Their main function is to charge the batteries of the PDA without transmitting data. Such chargers are designed to charge one or more batteries. There are also models for charging batteries installed in PDA and slots for charging spare batteries. Thus, the charging station can simultaneously charge up to 2 batteries - the battery in the data collector and a spare battery.
There are charging docks for charging terminals equipped with a pistol grip. Often these pistol grip models only charge when the terminal is in the cradle. Separately, in the case of such a cradle there are slots for charging spare batteries, which have a special shape adapted to the shape of the handle.
3) Communication and charging bases (cradle) are devices that not only charge the battery of the terminal, but also exchange information with the main computer device. In our assortment you will find cradles for 1, 4, 6 terminals with USB or Ethernet interfaces. The so-called Single Slot cradle or 4 slot cradle.
Many models of cradles are equipped with several connectors for batteries and for terminal EDA, which is very convenient if the enterprise uses several hand held computers and needs to charge several devices at the same time. In addition, multi-slot cradles allow you to have several additional charged batteries on hand, eliminating the risk of downtime due to discharged equipment.
If you have a used data terminal, then it may not be possible to find original batteries for the PDA and chargers. We can offer non-original batteries. In this case, using the cable you will be able to continue using your Windows handheld terminals.
What is the name of the PDT battery? Lithium-ion batteries (Li-on marking) are the most common modern type of batteries for data capture terminals. Their advantage is their compact size and low weight, they are also durable. The lithium-ion battery is designed for 300 full charge and discharge cycles.
Batteries for data terminals
Batteries of any type, including lithium-ion batteries, have a limited lifespan, indicated by the number of charge cycles. Therefore, periodically there is a need to update batteries for mobile data collection terminals.
How to find out what kind of battery is needed for the portable data terminal? The easiest way to determine the battery model is to open the cover of the device case and inspect the battery. Here you can find one or more stickers. Including on such stickers, the serial number of the battery may be indicated. Usually batteries come in standard and larger capacity (Extended Power of 6000-7000 mAh).
Is it possible to put a battery with a larger capacity in the data collection terminal? Yes, it is possible to put an increased capacity battery in the handheld terminal, if it is provided by the manufacturer. But in some models, you will also have to change the battery compartment cover.
What to do to make the battery last longer and how not to kill the battery in the handheld computers? First, do not allow the device to completely discharge. It is optimal to connect mobile data terminals to power when the charge is 5-10%. Consider purchasing a spare battery that can be charged in a charger or communication cradle.
How much does it cost to replace a battery on a data capture terminal? The cost of replacing the battery depends on the specific brand and model of the PDT, and the manufacturer's policy. More powerful models will cost more.
We offer a wide range of batteries for various models of terminals EDA, wearable terminals and wireless barcode scanners and memory scanners. You can buy batteries of both standard capacity and larger capacity from us. It is also possible to purchase batteries in small bulk - in packs of 10 pieces, which is a financially beneficial solution for your business.
