22.4. Battery Maintenance
22.4.1. Optimizing Battery Performance
A battery should be optimized before it is used for the first time. A battery
optimizing cycle is one uninterrupted charge of the battery, followed by an uninterrupted
battery discharge and charge. Batteries should be optimized regularly to maintain their
lifetime.
CAUTION:
Over time and with the use of batteries, the actual storage capacity of batteries
will decrease. For old batteries, the full capacity icon does not mean that the
battery storage capacity can still meet the manufacturer’s specifications, nor
does it mean that the battery power supply time can still meet the
manufacturer’s specifications. During optimization, if the battery power
supply time is obviously shortened, please replace the battery.
To optimize a battery, follow this procedure:
1. Disconnect the monitor from the patient and stop all monitoring and
measuring procedures.
2. Connect the monitor to the AC power supply and charge the battery
continuously until the battery is full.
3. Remove the AC mains and allow the monitor to run from the battery until it
shuts off.
4. Reconnect the monitor to AC power and recharge the battery.
5. The optimizing of the battery is over.
22.4.2. 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.
