About CT45 XP Models with USB Type C Connector

You can use a USB cable to charge the mobile computer from a host device (e.g., laptop or desktop computer). The connected host device must supply a minimum power output of 5V, 1A to the CT45/CT45 XP or the battery will not charge.
Note: If the mobile computer is drawing more current than supplied by the charging source, charging will not take place.

Battery Replacement

Before removing the battery, always do one of the following:
