2036991-001C CARESCAPE V100 Vital Signs Monitor 13-5
Battery: Disposal of Batteries
Battery charging will take place
as long as the monitor remains
connected to an external DC
power source.
Charge battery pack for 12
hours before first use or
after prolonged periods of
storage.
If the monitor is idle for
extended periods, it should
be fully charged at least
once a month to ensure
optimum performance.
The battery pack should be
charged before use, because a charged battery loses charge when left in
storage. Sealed lead acid batteries can discharge to less than 80% of
charge within 60 days of storage. Charging is done automatically by the
monitor when the external DC power is connected.
The battery pack should be charged at room temperature (59°F to 86°F;
16°C to 30°C).
You can charge or top-off the battery pack at any time. You do not have to
wait until battery is fully discharged.
To prolong the life of the battery, keep the monitor connected to a DC power
supply whenever possible. Do not allow the battery to become completely
discharged.
A fully charged battery will power the monitor for approximately 8-11 hours,
depending upon configuration and usage.
To ensure full charge cycles, replace only with a recommended battery.
If the monitor is to be stored for some time, first charge the battery and then
remove it and store it separately from the monitor.
