provides 100 minutes of monitoring or more than 50 200-joule charge-shock
cycles.
Battery Life Expectancy
Life-expectancy of a battery depends on the frequency and duration of use.
When properly maintained and stored, the life-expectancy of a battery is
about 1.5 years. For more aggressive use models, life-expectancy may be less.
The date of manufacture is located at the bottom of the battery’s back label.
Storing Batteries
Batteries should be used regularly and rotated to distribute the use evenly.
When storing batteries, make sure that the battery terminals do not come in
contact with metallic objects.
Batteries should not be stored without charging for more than one month, if
installed in the defibrillator, or more than three months, if not installed in the
defibrillator. Storage at temperatures between 15
o
C (59
o
F) and 30
o
C (86
o
F) is
recommended to maximize life expectancy.
& $87,21 Storing at temperatures above 40
o
C (104
o
F) for extended periods of time will
significantly reduce a battery’s life-expectancy.
Discarding Batteries
Batteries should be discarded if there are visual signs of damage or if they fail
the Battery Capacity Test. Batteries should be discarded in an
environmentally safe manner. Properly dispose of batteries according
to local regulations.
