LIFEPAK 1000 Defibrillator Nonrechargeable Battery
Nonrechargeable Batteries:
Type : Lithium Manganese Dioxide (Li/MnO2), 12.0 V, 4.5 amp-hours (nonrechargeable)
Capacity : Typically will provide 440 200-joule discharges or 1030 minutes of operating time with a new battery (370 200-joule shocks or 900 minutes of operating time at 0°C (32°F)).
Shelf Life (prior to installation) : After the battery is stored for 5 years at 20° to 30°C, the device will provide 48 months of standby life.
Standby Life : A new battery provides device power for 5 years.
Low Battery Indicator : At least 30 200-joule shocks or 75 minutes of operating time remain when low battery is first indicated.
The nonrechargeable battery never requires recharging. The approximate level of charge in the battery is indicated by the fuel gauge on the battery, on the readiness display when the defibrillator is off, or on the screen when the defibrillator is in use.
The fuel gauge on the nonrechargeable battery provides an easy way to determine the available battery capacity, which is equivalent to the level of battery charge for this type of battery. The nonrechargeable battery is shipped to customers fully charged. Push the gray button below the battery symbol to check the charge level of a new nonrechargeable battery before installing it in a defibrillator. All four LEDs should illuminate.
When optimally maintained, a new nonrechargeable battery pak can provide approximately 17 hours of “ON” time or 440 discharges at 200 joules. Turning the defibrillator on (“ON” time) uses battery capacity. Battery charge decreases while the battery is in the defibrillator because of the battery’s normal self-discharge rate and the energy used by the defibrillator auto tests. If installed in a defibrillator that is not used, the battery has a standby life of five years. Any patient or training use of the defibrillator, including “ON” time and shocks, reduces the battery’s standby and useful life.
A new nonrechargeable battery has a shelf life of five years if stored at the proper temperature. The battery (stored outside the defibrillator) self-discharges over time; therefore, when the battery is eventually placed in the defibrillator, its useful life will be reduced depending on how long it was stored.
To properly maintain nonrechargeable batteries:
- Do not attempt to recharge.
- Do not allow electrical connection between the battery contacts.
- Use and store batteries at temperatures specified in Appendix A. Higher temperatures accelerate the loss of charge and decrease battery life. Lower temperatures reduce battery capacity
WARNING! Possible explosion, fire, or noxious gas.
Attempting to recharge a nonrechargeable battery can cause an explosion or fire or release noxious gas. Dispose of expired or depleted nonrechargeable batteries as described in these operating instructions.
CAUTION! Possible battery damage
Electrical connection between battery contacts can permanently disable the battery
