2.1.5. Battery
Figure 2-2: Battery
A battery sustains power to allow normal operation without AC power. Battery placement is
illustrated in Figure 2-2. A battery will operate for up to two hours.
An AccuVote-OS installed with a battery will reject a ballot being read at the time of the power
interruption, but will allow refeeding of the ballot and continued operation under battery power.
2.1.6. V25 CPU
The AccuVote-OS is run with an NEC V-25 single chip microcomputer. Information gathered by
the ballot reader is transferred by means of a high speed serial input connection to an image
buffer in the CPU board’s RAM. The CPU program analyzes the data in the memory buffer to
locate the marks on the ballot.
