4.6 Battery
The iN∫X battery (J, Figure 6) is a rechargeable, 36 Volt DC lithium-iron
phosphate battery (LiFePO4). The battery has a carry handle (K). The
battery installs under the shock frame, behind the display (Figure 7).
For complete use, maintenance, and safety information, refer to Ferno
publication 234-3595.
Charge the battery by securing the cot in a fastening system with
●
powered ICS, or remove the battery from the cot and connect it
directly to a Ferno battery charger.
●
Charging time is 15 minutes (one transport, maintaining the charge
with ICS) to 1 hour, 45 minutes (depleted battery). If a battery has a
very low charge, extend the charging time.
●
Actual charging time varies based on frequency of recharge,
depth of discharge, and battery age. Patient weight and extreme
temperature can also affect the power available from each battery
charge.
●
Turn the power OFF if the cot will not be used for more than 30
minutes.
●
The battery is water-resistant and is suitable for outdoor use. Do
not submerge the battery in water.
Before placing the battery in storage, charge it. Store only a fully-
●
charged battery. See page 39.
Replace a damaged or cracked battery. Do not open the sealed
●
battery case. Do not dismantle, open or shred the battery.
●
Recycle the battery when it no longer holds a charge (page 39).
