8.4 Optimizing Battery Performance
A battery needs at least two optimizing cycles when it is
put into use for the first time. A battery cycle is one complete,
uninterrupted charge of the battery, followed by a complete,
uninterrupted discharge of the battery. A battery should be
conditioned regularly to maintain its useful life. Condition a
battery once when it is used or stored for two months, or
when its run time becomes noticeably shorter.
To optimize a battery, follow this procedure:
1. Disconnect the monitor from the patient and stop all
monitoring and measuring procedures.
2. Place the battery in need of optimizing into the battery
compartment to the monitor.
3. Place the monitor in the charger stand and connect the
AC mains. Allow the battery to be charged
uninterruptedly for above 4 hours.
4. Remove the AC mains and allow the monitor to run from
the battery until it shuts off.
5. Replace the monitor in the charger stand and connect the
AC mains. Allow the battery to be charged
uninterruptedly for above 4 hours.
6. The optimizing of the battery is over.
