Product Description
The ZOLL Smart Battery Module consists of a reusable
electronics module and replaceable cell pack. A built-in
microprocessor monitors battery use/recharge and tracks the
amount of usable monitoring time remaining in the battery.
Whenever a Smart Battery (Battery Pack equipped with a
reusable Smart Battery Module) is placed in a ZOLL
monitor/defibrillator, the device measures its rate of energy
delivery and displays the remaining usable monitoring time.
The ZOLL Smart Battery is also designed to help users
determine the monitoring run time during the recharge process
or when the battery pack is sitting idle.
The reusable ZOLL Smart Battery Module microprocessor
monitors both battery capacity and charge state to compute
approximate monitoring time. Since, battery capacity diminishes
over the useful life of all batteries, the Smart Battery must
periodically recalibrate its capacity in order to provide continued
accuracy. The battery's Fault: Test Battery Before Using
indicator (
+
) will illuminate to indicate the need for such
recalibration. When this occurs, recalibration is accomplished by
placing the Smart Battery in a ZOLL Base PowerCharger
4x4
or a
ZOLL Battery Support System labeled "Smart Battery Ready"
and depressing the TEST button. This process will test,
recalibrate, and recharge the battery, restoring battery level
indicator accuracy.
( Note: Recalibration is automatic with Base PowerCharger
4x4
Auto Test).
Controls and Indicators
+
?
Press For Display
Illuminates the battery level indicators to display the
approximate amount of time the monitor/defibrillator will operate
(in monitoring mode) before the battery is depleted. Depressing
this button will cause all indicators to blink once and then the
appropriate indicators will illuminate for 10 seconds unless the
battery is in use/recharge (then they will remain on).
+
Fault: Test Battery Before Using
Illuminates to indicate that the Smart Battery is in need of
recalibration or that a fault condition has been detected. If the
+
FAULT indicator remains lit after the Smart Battery has
been recalibrated (tested), refer to the Diagnostics Mode Fault
Code Section for instructions on how to determine the nature of
the fault or return to ZOLL Technical Service.
Battery Level Indicators
The Smart Battery includes five indicators for displaying the
amount of monitoring time contained in the battery. To check the
state of the battery, depress the
+
?
Press For Display
button and assure that all five indicators are illuminated to
confirm that the battery pack has been fully recharged. The top
most indicator will typically be extinguished within a few minutes
after the battery is placed in use to show that at least some
energy has been used.
The remaining four battery level indicators display the
approximate monitoring time for a 1400 series device that can
be expected from the battery. As the battery pack is used, the
pattern of illuminated indicators will change to display the
present battery state. When only the bottom indicator is
illuminated, the Smart Battery pack is low and should be
recharged.
When the Smart Battery is powering a monitor/defibrillator or
when it is in the process of being recharged, the battery level
indicators will automatically display the battery's remaining
useable monitoring time. When the battery is not in use or is
installed in an inactive monitor/defibrillator, the indicators will all
be extinguished.

Notes:
• A fully charged Smart Battery will provide a minimum
operating time of 2.0 hours in the monitoring mode for the PD
2000/D 2000, and PD 1400/D 1400 devices and 1.5 hours in the
monitoring mode for the ZOLL 1600 and ZOLL 1700.
• It is normal for the Smart Battery to show as much as 1.5
hours of monitoring run time left on the defibrillator when the
Low Battery message is displayed on the screen.
• The battery level display will illuminate when it is inserted into
the charger or when it is in a monitor/defibrillator and the unit is
turned on. It can take up to 10 seconds for the Battery Level
display to turn on. (The display may turn off near the end of the
charge cycle).
• If a fully charged battery is inserted into a charger all of the
indicators may remain off.
• When the
+
?
Press For Display button is depressed at
least one LED will always illuminate with no delay. If a fault is
present, only the Fault indicator will illuminate while the Battery
Level indicators remain off.
• Before storing batteries, make sure that they are fully charged.
• The top indicator of a fully charged ready Smart Battery in
storage should extinguish between 3 and 5 weeks. If the
indicator extinguishes before three (3) weeks or after 5 weeks a
fault condition may exist.
Charging, Testing and Recalibration
ZOLL Smart Batteries may be charged by any of ZOLL's
Charging systems. Use of any other charger will not allow Smart
Battery gauge to be fully operational but the battery will still be
charged.
Recalibration, the act of restoring full and accurate function to
the Smart Battery must be performed using the Base
PowerCharger
4x4
or a ZOLL Battery Support System labeled
"Smart Battery Ready." (Older model Battery Support Systems
may require upgrades to enable this recalibration. Please
contact your local sales representative.)
Recalibration is necessary when the battery has been used
approximately 20 times or the
+
FAULT - Test Battery
indicator is illuminated on the Smart Battery. Recalibration is
performed by placing the Smart Battery in the Base
PowerCharger
4x4
or a ZOLL Battery Support System labeled
"Smart Battery Ready" and pressing the TEST button.
The modular AC PowerCharger which attaches to the ZOLL
Monitor/Defibrillator is unable to recalibrate the Smart Battery.
AC PowerCharger users should place the Smart Battery in the
Base PowerCharger
4x4
or a ZOLL Battery Support System
labeled "Smart Battery Ready" and press the TEST button for
recalibration. It is also possible to recalibrate the Smart Battery
by draining the Smart Battery from a fully charged state to shut
off in a ZOLL defibrillator and then recharging.
ZOLL Medical Corporation recommends that all Smart Batteries
be tested for capacity at least every 90 days.

If a fault is present, the
+
FAULT indicator will blink as
follows: ½ second on followed by ½ second off for the number of
times equal to the fault code.
If more than one fault is present, the FAULT indicator will blink
the number of times equal to the fault code followed by a brief
delay then blink the number of times equal to the next fault
code, and so on.
When last fault code has displayed, there will be a brief delay,
after which the FAULT indicator will light and remain on.
