Section 3: Setup

Battery Life

The expected life of a Cardiac Science battery is defined as the number of
years the battery can be expected to last when installed in the Survivalink
AED. The following table represents the expected life of the Survivalink
AED when used in Standby Mode.
Model Expected Operating Life
9141 Extended Life Lithium 5 years
The expected life will decrease as the Survivalink AED is used in
Operating Mode.
Store the Survivalink AED with the battery installed at temperatures
between 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F) and relative humidity between 5%
to 95% (non-condensing).
Note: Storing the Survivalink AED with the battery installed at extreme
temperatures may decrease battery life.

Battery Shelf-Life

All Cardiac Science batteries have a shelf-life of five years. Shelf-life is
defined as the length of time a battery can be stored, prior to installation
into the Survivalink AED, without degrading its performance.
Store batteries, not installed in the Survivalink AED, at temperatures
between 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F) and relative humidity between 5%
to 95% (non-condensing).
WARNING: Battery is Not Rechargeable
Do not attempt to recharge the battery. Any attempt to recharge the
battery may result in an explosion or fire hazard.
CAUTION: Battery Disposal
Recycle or dispose of the lithium battery in accordance with all federal,
state, and local laws. To avoid fire and explosion hazards, do not burn or
incinerate the battery.
CAUTION: Possible Improper Device Performance
Use of any batteries other than those approved by Cardiac Science may
cause the Survivalink AED to function improperly during a rescue. The
use of other brands of batteries other than those approved by Cardiac
Science may void the Cardiac Science Limited Warranty.
