1 Introduction of the AutoPulse Power System
The AutoPulse Power System consists of a battery (either the AutoPulse Li-Ion Battery or AutoPulse
NIMH Battery) and battery charger (the AutoPulse Multi-Chemistry Battery Charger).
Battery: Both the AutoPulse Li-Ion Battery and the AutoPulse NIMH Battery are proprietary,
rechargeable, removable batteries that are specifically designed to supply power for AutoPulse
operation.
Battery Charger: The AutoPulse Multi-Chemistry Battery Charger is a stand alone unit designed to
charge and automatically maintain both the AutoPulse Li-Ion Battery and the AutoPulse NIMH Battery.
The AutoPulse Platform is intended to be deployed with other emergency equipment and should always
be kept in a state of high-readiness. Customers should integrate an AutoPulse and Battery check into
their daily equipment check procedures. Like other life supporting equipment, good battery management
practices are essential to provide proper operation, and to avoid problems during use.

2 AutoPulse Li-Ion Battery
The AutoPulse Li-Ion Battery (see Figure 2-1) is a proprietary, rechargeable, removable Lithium-Ion
battery that is a power source for the AutoPulse Platform.
The AutoPulse Li-Ion Battery is mechanically keyed to the AutoPulse Platform and Multi-Chemistry
Battery Charger to facilitate correct installation. One end of the AutoPulse Li-Ion Battery contains
connections for power and communications. A Battery Status Check button illuminates the AutoPulse
Li-Ion Battery’s status light-emitting diodes (LEDs).
ZOLL recommends that users change AutoPulse Li-Ion Batteries daily or after each use. Charged
AutoPulse Li-Ion Batteries left for an extended period in the AutoPulse or as a spare may not have
sufficient capacity to operate effectively.
Warning: Always charge a stored Battery before placing the Battery in active operation. Battery may
self-discharge when not in use. Failure to charge a Battery before use may cause device
power failure. In no case should any Battery be used if it has not been charged within 2
days.

2.1 Expected AutoPulse Li-Ion Battery Life
The expected service life of a properly maintained AutoPulse Li-Ion Battery is three years from its date
of manufacture. ZOLL recommends that customers plan to purchase batteries on intervals that reduce
the likelihood that they will have all batteries due for replacement simultaneously. A specific
replacement interval may be difficult to establish until use and charging patterns are well established.
Some customers may want to replace batteries on a preventative basis regardless of the Battery’s
capacity or remaining life.
Note: The Battery will not operate after five years from its date of manufacture.
2.2 Handling New AutoPulse Li-Ion Batteries
New AutoPulse Li-Ion Batteries should be unpacked immediately and not stored for any extended
period. Before putting new AutoPulse Li-Ion Batteries into service, they must be placed into the
AutoPulse Multi-Chemistry Battery Charger. The Multi-Chemistry Charger will charge and test the
Battery, and may automatically initiate a Test-Cycle. If a test cycle is initiated, do not remove the
AutoPulse Li-Ion Battery from the Charger until the Test-Cycle is complete. This process could take up
to 12 hours.

Batteries be changed daily or after each use. Charged AutoPulse NiMH Batteries left for any extended
period in the AutoPulse or as a spare may not have sufficient capacity to operate effectively.
Warning: Always charge a stored Battery before placing the Battery in active operation. Battery may
self-discharge when not in use. Failure to charge a Battery before use may cause device
power failure. In no case should any Battery be used if it has not been charged within 2
days.
Caution: Remove the protective plastic cap from the Battery before attempting to charge the Battery.
Caution: Only use ZOLL Batteries specifically designed for use with the AutoPulse System. The use
of other batteries may cause permanent damage to the AutoPulse Platform and will void the
