BATTERY PACK STORAGE
The oxygen concentrator battery does not need to
be fully discharged before recharging. It is
recommended to charge the oxygen concentrator
battery after each use.
Do not leave the battery in a location exposed to
excessive heat, such as in direct sunlight or a car.
Doing so could cause the battery's performance
and life to deteriorate. It may also cause the
battery to generate heat, smoke, catch fire, or
explode. The battery pack should be stored in a
stable environment characterized by low-humidity
(less than 70% RH) and free of corrosive gasses.
To prevent rust, avoid conditions that can create
condensation such as rapid fluctuations in the
ambient temperature.
For storage of a month or more, a discharged or
partial charged state of charge between 50% and
75% (two to three LEDs) is recommended. Once
charged, remove the battery from the oxygen
concentrator.
BATTERY DISPOSAL
Your battery is rechargeable and can be recycled.
You can also contact your local city or town
offices for instructions on proper disposal of the
battery.
Cleaning
Turn OFF the unit and disconnect from AC or DC
power before any cleaning or disinfection. DO
NOT spray the outer case directly. Use a damp
(not wet) cloth or sponge. Spray the cloth or
sponge with a mild disinfectant solution to clean
the cabinet and power supplies. Proceed as
directed by the cleaner manufacturer.
