18.5.2. Checking Battery Performance
The performance of a battery may deteriorate over time. To check the performance
of a battery, follow this procedure:
1. Disconnect the monitor from the patient and stop all monitoring and
measuring procedures.
2. Connect the monitor to AC power and charge the battery continuously until
the battery is full.
3. Disconnect AC mains and allow the monitor to run on the battery until it
shuts off.
4. The operating time of a battery reflects its performance directly. If the power
supply time of the battery is obviously lower than the time stated in the
specification, please consider replacing the battery or contact maintenance
personnel.
CAUTION:
If the power supply time is too short after the battery is fully charged, the
battery may have been damaged or malfunctioned. The power supply time of
the battery depends on the equipment configuration and operation. For
example, frequent NIBP measurement will also shorten the power supply time
of the battery.
18.6. Battery Recycling
When a battery has visual signs of damage, or no longer holds a charge, it should be
replaced. Removed the old battery from the monitor and recycle it properly. To dispose of
the batteries, follow local laws for proper disposal.
WARNING:
Do not disassemble batteries, or dispose of them in fire, or cause them to short
circuit. They may ignite, explode, or leak, causing personal injury.
