Activity When to Perform
Decommission the battery When any of the following INOPs are
displayed on the MX40:
TELE SERVICE BATTERY
TELE BATTERY TEMP
TELE REMOVE BATT
Note — When the above INOPs occur,
the Tele Batt Low INOP is suppressed.
Rechargeable batteries are charged using the IntelliVue CL Charging
Station. For information on charging station use, see Charging Li-ion
Rechargeable Batteries p. 5-10 .
Note — The battery capacity of rechargeable batteries degrades over time
and number of recharge cycles. Toward the end of its useful life, the battery
capacity may be reduced by 30%. If this reduced battery life is unacceptable
based on your use model, Philips recommends replacing the rechargeable
battery sooner.
Lithium-ion Rechargeable Battery Storage
When storing rechargeable batteries, make sure that the battery terminals
do not come into contact with metallic objects or other conductive
materials.
If batteries are stored for an extended period of time, they should be stored
in a cool, dry place, ideally at 15
o
C (60
o
F), with a state of charge of 20% to
90%. Storing batteries in a cool place slows the aging process.
The batteries should not be stored at a temperature outside the range of -
20
o
C (-4
o
F) to 50
o
C (122
o
F).
Stored batteries should be should be charged to at least 90% of their
capacity every 6 months. They should be charged to full capacity prior to
use.
Note — Storing batteries at temperatures above 38
o
C (100
o
F) for extended
periods of time could significantly reduce the batteries' life expectancy.
Lithium-ion Rechargeable Battery Handling Precautions
Lithium-ion batteries store a large amount of energy in a small package.
Use caution when handling the batteries; misuse or abuse could cause
bodily injury and/or equipment damage.
