Updated Battery Information for the CP 100/CP 200
Electrocardiograph Battery - Preparation and Operation
Battery performance:
The sealed lead-acid battery provides 200 to 300 discharge/charge cycles under normal
operating conditions before it should be replaced. Typical battery usage will require
battery replacement approximately once per year. Reduced battery performance and
longevity will result if the recommendations for maximum battery performance are not
followed.
The electrocardiograph uses a single, rechargeable Sealed Lead Acid (SLA) battery pack. It
is designed to print up to 100 continuous rhythm ECG pages or to print 25 AUTO ECG
tests per full charge. The typical charge time of the sealed lead-acid battery is 12-16 hours,
but can take up to 36 hours for a highly discharged battery.
Prior to using your new electrocardiograph in battery mode:
Note
Replace the patient lead if the banana spring at the end of the lead is broken or
damaged.
Caution Charge the Battery. Upon receipt of your new electrocardiograph, it is
important to charge the electrocardiograph's battery for at least 12 hours before
using it in battery mode.
The electrocardiograph is fully functional when connected to AC power,
regardless of the battery charge state. Using the electrocardiograph while
charging the battery does not affect the charge time.
