Money agents use mobile point-of-sale devices like Kashzoo for seamless transactions. It works just fine, like the regular Point of Sale machine. The mPOS also has nearly the same features as the POS. So just like the POS device cannot function with a dead battery, your mPOS can disrupt customer service at a critical moment if your device has power issues. Here are some practical and easy tips for maintaining battery health to keep your mPOS device running smoothly and avoid unexpected power issues;

• Charge Responsibly

Always charge your mPOS device appropriately. Do not leave it plugged in overnight or charge it for extended periods once it reaches full capacity. Overcharging can cause the battery to overheat and degrade over time, reducing lifespan.

• Use Certified Charging Accessories

Stick to the manufacturer-recommended chargers and cables. Using uncertified or low-quality accessories might seem convenient but can damage the battery and compromise your device’s safety.

• Clean the Charging Port Regularly

Dust and debris can accumulate in the charging port, affecting the connection and charging efficiency. So, clean the port gently with a dry, soft brush or compressed air to keep it clear and functioning optimally.

• Invest in Backup Power

Consider investing in a reliable power bank if you operate in an area with frequent power outages or handle heavy transaction volumes. Backup power will help your business run without interruptions.

• Monitor Battery Health

Always check your battery’s performance to know when its time for a replacement if it starts draining unusually fast, overheating, or showing physical signs of wear.
