In case of modular use of the patient box, the remaining running time of the
patient box, taking into account the current energy consumption, is displayed
(Fig. 3-20).

Alternatively, the charging status of the batteries in percent can be viewed in the
system info. In the main menu, select "System" ► "Info".
Since each module has a charging manager, it can be charged individually and
independently from the other modules.
Furthermore, in compact or semi-modular use, the system can also be charged
by only one magnetic contact. In this case, the charging time is independent of
whether only one or several modules are simultaneously charged by an external
power supply.
During charging, the corpuls

system can be operated.
Special maintenance of the batteries is not required. Nevertheless, charging
and/or operating under extreme temperatures should be avoided as far as
possible. This and extreme temperature fluctuations limit the service life of
lithium-ion batteries. It is therefore recommended to charge the batteries within
a temperature range from 12°C to 40°C.
Periodic replacement of the batteries after 3 years is recommended.
• Compact device: approx. 7-10 hours
• Patient box: approx. 4-6 hours
• Monitoring unit: approx. 4 hours (at 70% background
illumination)
• Defibrillator/Pacer: up to 200 shocks at 200 J
• From 0 to 80 %: approx. 1 hour
• From 0 to 90 %: approx. 1.5 hours
• From 0 to 100 %: approx. 2 hours
In case of a system crash of one or all modules the batteries do not have tob e
removed. By keeping the On/Off key depressed for a duration of 8 sec. the
individual modules can be forcibly shut down (see also chapter 4.2.2 Switching
Off, p. 44).
The batteries have an internal protection which could delay or interrupt the
charging process at ambient temperatures of higher than 50°C.
