8.3 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.
