monitor/defibrillator. Proper battery maintenance described in the “Battery Maintenance” section of

Application Note ensures your HeartStart XL+’s readiness and uninterrupted power supply.
Faulty Batteries
CAUTION: A HeartStart XL+ battery that cannot pass calibration is a faulty battery and cannot serve as a reliable
power source for the HeartStart XL+’s clinical purposes. A battery that can deliver power may still be
faulty. Do not use faulty batteries for any purposes.
If a faulty battery is connected to the device along with AC power source, the faulty battery may not be
revealed until the device attempts and fails to draw power from the battery.
Recycle or discard faulty batteries according to local regulations.
