Battery Care And Maintenance - Inogen One IO-100 Patient Manual

Battery Care and Maintenance

Your Inogen One Lithium Ion Battery requires special care to ensure proper
performance and long life. Use only Inogen One Batteries with your Inogen One
Concentrator.
Effect of Temperature on Battery Performance
The Inogen One Battery powers the Inogen One Concentrator from 2 to 3 hours
under most environmental conditions. To extend the run-time of your battery,
avoid running in temperatures less than 41˚F (5˚C) or higher than 95˚F (35˚C) for
extended periods of time.
Battery Time Remaining Clock
The Inogen One continuously displays battery time remaining. This displayed
time is only an estimate, and the actual time remaining may vary from this value.
Periodic Conditioning
Under some conditions, battery time remaining indicator may become inac-
curate. To reduce this risk: fully charge the battery, then fully discharge the
battery by running the concentrator on battery power (no AC) until the concen-
trator displays "Battery Low Attach Plug", or automatically shuts down (do not
charge the battery during this discharge cycle); then completely recharge the
battery on AC power using the concentrator or External Battery Charger.
