Charging the Batteries Using the Station or Mobile Li-ion Battery Charger
LIFEPAK 15 monitor/defibrillator batteries are charged in the Physio-Control station or
mobile Li-ion battery charger. The typical charge time for a fully depleted LIFEPAK 15 Li-
ion battery is 4 hours and 15 minutes. To maximize performance and battery life, maintain
an ambient temperature for the Li-ion battery charger between 20°C and 25°C (68°F and
77°F) when charging a LIFEPAK 15 Li-ion battery.
To charge a LIFEPAK 15 Li-ion battery in the battery charger:
NOTE:
When charging for the first time, remove the Charge Before Use label
prior to placing the battery in the charger.
1.
Place the battery in an open charging bay. The green LED starts blinking to
indicate it is charging.
2.
Remove the charged battery when the green LED stops blinking and remains
illuminated, indicating that it is ready.
NOTE:
If the red LED illuminates, remove the battery and discard/recycle (see
Discarding/Recycling Batteries (p. 165)
).
WARNING
POSSIBLE LOSS OF POWER AND DELAY OF THERAPY DURING PATIENT CARE
Using an improperly maintained battery to power a defibrillator may cause power
failure without warning. Use the appropriate equipment to charge batteries.
