BATTERY MAINTENANCE W ARNING

WARNING!

Possible loss of power and delay of therapy during patient care.

Using an improperly maintained battery to power the defibrillator may cause power failure without
warning. Use the appropriate PHYSIO-CONTROL Battery Support System to charge and condition
batteries.

BATTERY MAINTENANCE GUI DELINES AND PROCEDURES

To maximize BSS 2 operation and battery performance and life, observe these guidelines:

• Place the BSS 2 in the proper location

• Charge batteries at room temperature

• Rotate batteries

• Condition batteries every three m onths

• Perform shelf life tests every six months (optional for LIFEPAK SLA)

Place the BSS 2 in the Proper Location

To help ensure proper BSS 2 functioning:

• Place in a dry, well-ventilated area

• Keep at room temperature

• Keep batteries in wells

• Do not place in direct sunlight

• Do not place near a heat s ource or an air conditioner

• Keep fan vent on back panel unobstructed

Charge Batteries at Room Temperature

Charging batteries at room temperature, 20°C to 25°C (68°F to 78°F), is preferred to maximize battery
performance and life. The extreme temperature range for charging batteries is 5°C to 35°C
(41°F to 95°F). Batteries charged outside this temperature range may not reach a full charge (even if
charging time is increased) and irreversible cell damage could occur.

CAUTION!

Possible battery damage.

Charging a battery at temperaturesbelow 5°C (41°F) or above 35°C (95°F) prevents the battery from
reaching full capacity and may cause irreversible cell damage.

Fully charge SLA batteries between uses. If SLA batteries are not 100% recharged between uses,
sulfation (lead sulfate buildup on electrode surfaces inside the battery) can occur. Sulfation reduces
battery capacity and may result in premature battery failure.

To charge a battery:

Battery Maintenance

Rotate Batteries

Rotate all batteries in active use so that they are used with equal frequency.

Condition Batteries Every Three Months

Voltage depression is a condition that reduces battery performance. When NiCd batteries repeatedly
receive a shallow discharge (that is, not allowed to drain completely between charging cycles), voltage
depression occurs. This condition is often mistakenly called “memory.” Voltage depression can usually
be reversed by conditioning the battery every three months.

Conditioning is a series of charge/deep discharge cycles performed in the BSS 2 to measure and
optimize battery capacity.

To condition a battery:
1 Insert the battery into any battery well.

Note: If a power failure occurs during battery conditioning, the BSS 2 interrupts conditioning and

mode once power is restored. Battery conditioning may not have been

completed. Repeat conditioning process.

Perform Shelf Life Testing Every Six Months

Batteries self-discharge when not in use. A new NiCd battery self-discharges approximately 10% of its
capacity in the first dayand 1% of its capacity every day thereafter when stored at room temperature. In
10 days, a new NiCd battery loses approximately 20% of its capacity.

SLA batteries have alow self-discharge rate. A new SLA battery self-discharges approximately 0.1% of
its capacity each day when stored at room temperature. In 10 days, a new SLA battery loses
approximately 1.0% of its capacity.

The actual rate of battery self-discharge depends on:

• Battery age

• Temperature

• Frequency of use

• Length of time in storage

• Physical condition
These factors can combine to significantly increase the battery discharge rate. For example, an older

NiCd battery stored at higher temperatures may have an accelerated self-discharge rate much greater
than 1% a day.

The self-discharge rate increases as the battery ages.
The shelf life test evaluates the self-discharge rate of a battery. Any battery that fails the shelf life test

RECEIVING NEW BATTERIES

When newly-purchased batteries are received, charge each new battery. Because batteries self­discharge during storage, a new battery may not be fully charged when it is received.

STORING BATTERIES

WARNING!

Possible loss of power during patient care.

Stored batteries lose charge. Failure to charge a stored battery before use may cause device power
failure without warning. Always charge a stored battery before placing it in active use.

Store batteries in or out of the BSS 2 except when performing the shelf life test. During storage,
batteries still require routine maintenance (refer to the conditioning procedure, page 3-3, and the shelf
life test, page 3-3).

Storing an SLA battery that is less than 100% charged can result in permanent damage.
When storing batteries:

• Fully charge LIFEPAK SLA batteries before storing.

• Store batteries between 4.4°C and 26.7°C (40°F to 80°F). Lower temperatures reduce the battery
self-discharge rate. Higher temperatures increase the self-discharge rate.

• Do not freeze batteries. Damage to the battery may result.

• Charge stored batteries before placing in use.

DISCARDING/RECYCLING BATTERIES

Properly maintained FASTPAK batteries have a useful life of approximately two years. Properly
maintained FASTPAK 2 and LIFEPAK NiCd batteries have a useful life up to five years. Properly
maintained LIFEPAK SLA batteries have a useful life of up to three years. A FASTPAK, FASTPAK 2,
LIFEPAK NiCd, or LIFEPAK SLA battery has reached the end of useful life if one or more of the
following circumstances occur:

• Battery fails conditioning or shelf life test.

• There is physical damage to the battery case.

• The battery is leaking.

• The BSS 2 indicates
