Comes with Charging cable. Charging base/dock is optional, comes in 2 models, 1 model can charge the A920 and other model charges the terminal and has multiple ports for communications and other peripherals. The Power Supply is the same from both so the charging time should be the same.
What is the battery life with constant usage (how long it can be used in between chargers?
Run time - 8 hours
We tested battery life and found these results: App open with max screen brightness for 8 hours = battery drop from 100% to 36%. It drops around 8 to 10 % per hour (depends on screen brightness and the usage of the app)
How can a merchant manually batch on the SpotOn Handhelds?

Connectivity FAQs
Can the SpotOn Serve connect to wifi?
Yes, it’s like an Android cell phone. Pull down top bar menu and tap on wifi icon to select network.
How do I switch between WIFI and cellular?
It’s been confirmed that the Android device prioritizes Wifi over Cellular and will switch to cellular automatically if Wi-Fi is lost (assuming cellular is turned on). It may take about 10 seconds to switch over depending on the size of the menu. The screen can be put to sleep if not being used, the server can press a physical button on the right to do this. It will take a few seconds to restore connection once turned back on.
