Battery Care, Maintenance, and
Replacement
The V*Home removable and internal batteries are Lithium-ion. To maximize battery life, charge the V*Home batteries
before they drain completely. The batteries charge whenever V*Home is plugged into an external source of power.
Battery icons in the status bar display a battery’s charge status relative to its capacity (which diminishes over time). When
plugged into external power for an extended period, these status bar indicators will always report a 100% charge, even
when the absolute battery capacity has decreased with use and time.
The battery Absolute Charge status (shown on the My VOCSN screen) reports how the battery capacity is diminishing
over time. Over time, the battery icons in the status bar will display a full (100%) charge, and the absolute charge
status displayed on the My VOCSN screen will read <100%, even when V*Home is plugged into external power for an
extended period.
Battery replacement is recommended when the battery icons in the status bar show 100%, but the battery Absolute
Charge status on the My VOCSN screen shows 50% or less. This means the battery has half (or less) of the charge
capacity it did when new. Removable battery replacements are available from Ventec Life Systems. The internal battery
must be replaced by Ventec Life Systems service personnel.
NOTE: Ensure the batteries are fully charged before storing V*Home.
NOTE: The removable batteries are intended to charge while installed in V*Home or the Removable Battery Quick
Charger. Do not attempt to charge the V*Home batteries while removed from the V*Home or the charger.
NOTE: Use batteries from Ventec Life Systems. Do not use batteries from other manufacturers to power V*Home.
