Battery Operation
The internal rechargeable battery allows continued operation when the AC power is unavailable, for example during patient transfer or
AC power failure. The infusion time on battery is rate dependant, see 'Specifications' section of the DFU. From the battery low alarm it
will take about 24 hours to fully recharge when reconnected to the AC power supply, whether the pump is in use or not. The battery is
automatically charged during AC operation and whenever the pump is connected to the AC power supply and the AC power indicator is
illuminated.
The battery is maintenance free, sealed Nickel Metal Hydride and requires no routine servicing. However, to achieve optimum operation,
ensure that the battery is fully recharged after full discharge, before storage, and at regular 3 month intervals during storage.
Charge retention will eventually degrade. Where retention is critical the internal battery should be replaced every 3 years.
It is recommended that only qualified service personnel replaces the battery. For further information regarding the replacement of
batteries refer to the Technical Service Manual.
