Battery charging
Power to charge the battery is supplied to the VPA-DS when the power supply is plugged into the
rear power connector on the docking station (FIG. 10). A ViewPoint battery can be charged in three
different ways:
An external power supply can be plugged into the side of the ViewPoint which will
supply external power to run the panel and the onboard battery charger.
The ViewPoint can be placed onto a VPA-DS ViewPort Docking Station that will supply
external power to run the panel and the onboard battery charger.
The ViewPoint battery can be removed from the ViewPoint and placed into the battery
compartment of the ViewPort Docking Station (VPA-DS).
Charging of the battery within the compartment and the battery within the ViewPoint are no longer
mutually exclusive.
A charge session for a ViewPoint (with VPA-BP battery) on the ViewPort lasts for 5 hours of
continuous use. The ViewPort has a self-contained smart-chip that reads the power level of the
battery and then "smart-charges" it based on the amount of power and duration needed for the best
possible charge per session.
