4.2.1 AutoPulse Multi-Chemistry Battery Charger Test-Cycle mode
In addition to the Performance Test, the AutoPulse Multi-Chemistry Battery Charger periodically
executes a more extensive test on the Battery. The “Test-Cycle” measures a Battery’s charge holding
capability by cycling the Battery through a charge-discharge-recharge sequence. At the end of the
sequence, the Battery is tested to ensure performance standards are met.
The AutoPulse Multi-Chemistry Battery Charger will automatically perform a Test-Cycle every 10th
charge/discharge cycle or at a minimum of every 30 days. When a Battery is placed in the MultiChemistry Battery Charger under those conditions, the Test-Cycle yellow LED will illuminate and the
Charger will automatically begin the Test-Cycle.
Note: Do not remove a Battery from the AutoPulse Multi-Chemistry Battery Charger during a Test-
Cycle, or the Battery’s run time may be reduced. If a Battery is removed during a Test-Cycle,
the Charger will automatically restart the T est-Cycle the next time the Battery is inserted into it.
AutoPulse Batteries that pass the Test-Cycle remain ready for use. Once the Test-Cycle has been
completed, the Battery is either restored to ready (green LED on the Control Panel) or has failed and
should be replaced (red LED on the Control Panel). The normal Test-Cycle requires up to 12 hours.
If a Battery has failed the Test-Cycle (Fail LED), it should be considered out of service. In the U.S.,
contact ZOLL Technical Service at 1-800-348-9011. Outside the U.S., contact your local ZOLL
representative.

6 Managing the AutoPulse Power System
6.1 AutoPulse Battery Management
The AutoPulse System is intended to be deployed in a state of high-readiness. Therefore, daily
AutoPulse System checks should be integrated into Emergency Medical Service (EMS) rig-check or
hospital procedures. AutoPulse Batteries that are not fully charged (Battery Status LED is yellow/amber
or there are less than four bars on the AutoPulse User Control Panel), will result in shorter AutoPulse run
times. AutoPulse Batteries that are not fully charged should be replaced with ones that are fully charged
(green Battery Status LED or has four bars on the AutoPulse User Control Panel). A recommended
AutoPulse Daily Checklist is located in Appendix A.
The following essential elements of AutoPulse Battery management should be incorporated into a
regular routine:
• Leave a fully-charged AutoPulse Battery installed in the AutoPulse Platform at all times.
• Have a fully-charged spare AutoPulse Battery available for use in the AutoPulse System.
• Maintain one or two fully-charged AutoPulse Batteries in the AutoPulse Multi-Chemistry Battery
Charger.
Caution: Do not use Batteries that have cracks in the Battery case exposing internal components.
Mishandling of the Battery may lead to physical damage and present a fire or shock hazard.
Caution: Do not immerse any portion of the AutoPulse Battery in water or other fluids. Do not allow
fluids to enter the Battery or the Battery Connector. Fluid immersion or spillage may
permanently damage the Battery or present a fire or shock hazard.
6.2 AutoPulse Battery Maintenance
