Battery Operation

The internal rechargeable battery allows continued operation when the AC power is unavailable,
for example during patient transfer or AC power failure. A fully charged battery will provide over 6
hours operation at typical infusion rates. From the battery low alarm it will take about 24 hours to
fully recharge when reconnected to the AC power supply, whether the unit is in use or not. The
battery is automatically charged during AC operation and whenever the unit is connected to the
AC power supply and the AC power indicator is illuminated.
It is good practice to periodically operate the unit on battery power until the battery low alarm then
charge the battery to confirm battery operation and charging. When not in use, connect the unit
to the AC power supply in order to maintain the battery in the fully charged state.
The battery is a maintenance free, sealed lead acid type and requires no routine servicing.
However, to achieve optimum operation, ensure that the battery is fully recharged after full
discharge, before storage, and at regular 3 month intervals during storage.
The internal rechargeable battery will retain charge if utilised as described above on a regular
basis. Charge retention will eventually degrade. Where retention is critical the internal battery
should be replaced every 3 years.
