Abstract

A scanning apparatus and associated charging system are provided that include a universal power interface configured to receive a removable power source connected thereto where the removable power source includes a power storage unit and a charging circuit. The scanning apparatus further includes scanning circuitry that is in electrical communication with the universal power interface and is configured to scan a target. The scanning apparatus further includes a processor communicably coupled with the scanning circuitry and the universal power interface. In an instance in which the universal power interface receives the removable power source, the processor is configured to determine a type of the removable power source, select one or more parameters based on the determined type of the removable power source, and operate at least one of the scanning apparatus or the charging circuit in the removable power source based on the one or more selected parameters.
