7.3
The following mains powered battery chargers are available:
These chargers are intended for use with the AP800-BDC or AP800-9W-BDC combined adaptor
cables (see section ‘7.2 Combined Data/Charger Adaptor Cables‘).
Alternatively, the user may make their own charger arrangements. The recommended battery
charger supply voltage is +12 V DC to +15 V DC, at between 100 mA and 400mA. An external supply
must have an output voltage which remains within this range between these current extremes.
Lower or higher input voltages will reduce the battery recharging rate:
The charge current is internally regulated by the Ap863 so that a battery pack will completely charge
in about 15 hours, but may be continuously ‘trickle-charged’ if required.
So that the printer can be continuously powered from the host equipment, the higher charge rate is
disabled by default, but can be enabled by a command from the host computer. The user must take
care to avoid overcharging the battery pack in this case.
N.B. The Ap863, when used with a battery pack, is not designed to be charged directly from a
vehicle starter battery.
7.4
The Ap863 is fully EMC (Electro-Magnetic Compatibility) compliant and is CE marked accordingly. A
Declaration of Conformity, in accordance with the EMC Directive 89/336/EEC (and as amended) is
available from Able Systems on request.
7.5
System EMC compliance remains the responsibility of the system designer. It is recommended that
screened cables are used; earthing arrangements will depend on the application. Further advice is
available from Able Systems on request.
7.6
The Ap863 has no real-time clock or calendar function, and is therefore Year 2000 Compliant.

below about 11 V, the battery may not recharge at all;
above about 16 V, heat dissipated in the regulator may switch off the higher recharge rate
and even prevent recharging altogether.
