Access the batteries through the Battery Door on the LifePort Kidney Transporter External Connections Panel.
Each battery is designed to slide in and out of the slots provided. When inserted properly, the battery should be
flush with the slot panel, with the pull-tab visible and available for removing the battery. If the battery does not
push flush, it may be in the wrong orientation. Turn the battery 180 degrees and try again.
The following tips will help you obtain maximum life and serviceability from the batteries.
• Always replace the Battery Door. LifePort Kidney Transporter must not be operated or shipped without
the Battery Door in place.
• LifePort Kidney Transporter will recharge the batteries whenever it is plugged in. Plug in LifePort
Kidney Transporter whenever not in transit to keep the batteries at the highest possible charge. It takes
approximately five hours to completely
recharge all four batteries.
NOTE:
Keep extra charged batteries on hand when long transport times are anticipated or when
successive uses of LifePort Kidney Transporter with short turnaround times are expected.
• During storage of LifePort Kidney Transporter without connection to AC mains, the batteries will slowly
drain. After 30 days without charging, the batteries could have little or no charge and will need a full
five-hour
recharge.
