Over the past decade, POS (point of sale) systems have vastly improved. While they used to be hardware heavy, there’s been a shift towards cloud-based systems. 

Many businesses now find they’re invaluable for managing transactions and data remotely from any internet-connected device. They can also be used for data analytics and reporting, so you need reliable batteries which ensure your operations always run smoothly.

What types of batteries are typically used in point of sale systems?

There are various battery types for POS systems including lithium-ion (Li-ion), lithium-polymer (LiPo), nickel-cadmium (NiCd), and nickel-metal hydride (NiMH).

Li-ion and LiPo batteries are the most common because of their high energy density, space between light and weight, and relatively low maintenance requirements.

You will also need to calculate the required battery capacity based on the power consumption of your POS system and the desired runtime during power outages. Lincad can ensure your battery capacity is sufficient to support uninterrupted operation until power is restored or the system can be safely shut down.

We can also tailor charging solutions to reflect your needs. 

Options include trickle charging, constant current/constant voltage (CC/CV) charging, and pulse charging. Our experts in battery management solutions can talk you through options like charging time, efficiency and compatibility with the chosen battery type.

All our battery management solutions prioritise safety. 

POS systems often have built-in protection circuits, temperature sensors, and fail-safe mechanisms to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the battery system.

You also want a battery management solution that integrates easily with your POS system’s design and form factor. Consider factors such as size, weight, and mounting options to ensure easy installation and optimal space utilisation.
