Main Battery Pack
Caution:We recommend use of Honeywell Li-Ion battery packs. Use of any non-Honeywell battery may result
in damage not covered by the warranty.
There are two Li-ion battery packs available for the 6100:
Standard Capacity: Li-ion 3.7V/2200mAh/8.1Wh
Extended Capacity: Li-ion 3.7V/3300mAh/12.2Wh
The Li-Ion battery pack is the primary power source for the Dolphin terminal as well as the internal backup
battery.
Changing the Main Battery Pack
Before installing a battery pack, press the Power button on the 28-key Dolphin 6100 to put the terminal
into Suspend Mode (see page 3-16) so that operations are suspended before removing the main power
source. The Dolphin 6100 is shipped with the battery separate from the unit. You will need to loosen the
hand strap, remove the battery door, insert the battery, and replace the battery door. Refer to the
instructions included in Installing the Main Battery section (page 2-1).
Note: The battery door must be installed prior to booting the unit.
Charging Options
When the battery is installed in the terminal, you can use any of the peripherals listed below to charge the
battery.
• Dolphin HomeBase/eBase Device (see page 10-1)
• Dolphin Comm/Charge Cable; Managing Main Battery Power (see page 3-14). You may charge the
device using the USB connection if you do not have a wall adapter. There are two options that allow
either 100mA or 500mA of current over the USB connection. Access the option by selecting >
Settings > System > Power > USB Charging (see see Charging Terminal with USB Cable on page
8-1).
To fully charge the Li-Ion battery before installing it in the terminal, use the
• Dolphin QuadCharger Device (see page 11-1) or insert the battery in the spare battery charging well
in the back of either the Dolphin HomeBase or Dolphin eBase.
Charging Time
The standard capacity 2200mAh Li-ion battery pack requires four hours to charge to full capacity, while
the extended capacity 3300mAh pack requires six hours. It takes less time if the battery has some charge.
