In order to get maximum charging capacity with your Vscan Air
battery, you should initially allow the battery to be fully charged
and then fully discharged at least three times. Perform normal
operation during these cycles. Once the initial charging/
discharging cycles are performed, the following is applicable
without reducing the lifetime of the battery:
• It is not necessary to completely discharge the battery
before re-charging.
• It is possible to stop charging the battery before it is fully
charged, but the battery will then be discharged more
rapidly.
• It is possible to charge the battery several times each day, if
needed.
To minimize battery performance degradation, avoid prolonged
storage of the Vscan Air CL probe outside the specified
temperature range.
To maximize battery life it is recommended to store the Vscan
Air probe inside a temperature range of - 20°C to + 50°C.
Batteries generally degrade by aging and number of recharging
cycles and will have reduced capacity over time.
The 50 minutes continuous scanning time is valid for a fully
charged new battery using 80% B-mode and 20% color during
scanning. Scanning is taking place at normal room temperature
(22°C) and the factory default for the curved array Abdominal
preset is utilized.
