Rapid Recharger Topic Information
Cautions
• It is normal for battery packs to feel warm after charging or discharging cycles.
• Use only battery packs listed in this manual or recommended by Hewlett-Packard.
Rapid recharger
part numbers
See “Power Cord, Rapid Recharger, and Battery Pack Part Numbers” in chapter 1.
When to use a
rapid recharger
• Rapid rechargers may be used in place of the power adapter that is included with
HP DeskJet 300 Series printers.
• Rapid rechargers operate from any power source from 100 to 240 Vac, and at either
50 or 60 Hz. The rapid recharger detects the input voltage and automatically provides the
appropriate power output to the printer. The detachable cord, included with the rapid
recharger, adapts the rapid recharger to a country or region’s power receptacle. (Note that
these detachable cords cannot be ordered separately.)
• The printer
will not
operate from a battery pack attached to the rapid recharger.
– To use the printer in battery mode, remove the battery pack from the rapid recharger and
install it in the printer.
– To use the rapid recharger to power the printer, connect the rapid recharger to the
printer and to the AC power receptacle.
Using rapid rechargers
worldwide
Since rapid rechargers detect the input voltage and automatically provide the appropriate
power to the printer, a rapid recharger can be used anywhere with an appropriate receptacle
adapter. The receptacle adapter makes it possible for the rapid recharger to plug into the power
receptacle of a region or country.
Do
not
use a rapid recharger with a transformer or voltage converter.
Capabilities of rapid
rechargers and the
power adapter
1
compared
• The power adapter can provide power to an HP DeskJet 300 Series printer. Rapid rechargers
can not only provide power to a printer, but can also charge and discharge up to two battery
packs outside of the printer.
• Rapid rechargers can charge a battery pack much faster than the power adapter can. The
power adapter needs 6 hours to charge a fully discharged or new battery pack (
quick
charge
) and 10 hours for a partially charged battery pack (
standard charge
) installed in the
printer. Rapid rechargers require only 1 hour per battery pack
(

.
Rapid recharger lights

Reviving/discharging
with a rapid recharger
• Nickel cadmium battery packs have a characteristic that reduces their charge capacity if
they are not occasionally revived by fully discharging (draining) them and then charging
them again. Hewlett-Packard recommends fully discharging battery packs approximately
once a month.
• A rapid recharger can discharge battery packs whether it is connected to an AC power
source or disconnected from it.
• Although the rapid recharger can charge one battery pack and discharge another at the
same time, it can
discharge
only one battery pack at a time. A second battery pack will not
begin discharging until the first battery pack is fully discharged.
• For information on the rapid recharger lights and buttons, see “Rapid Recharger Lights and
Buttons” in this chapter.
1. Some HP DeskJet Portable printers may have a country-specific power module instead of a worldwide power adapter and
a country-specific power cord.
