9. Maintenance
Condition batteries when they are put into use for the
first time. A complete battery conditioning cycle is:
uninterrupted charging, followed by uninterrupted
discharging until the ventilator shuts off, and then
uninterrupted charging. Condition batteries regularly
to maintain their service life.
Follow the below steps to condition batteries:
1. Disconnect the patient from the ventilator and shut
down the ventilator.
2. Connect the ventilator to the external power source
and charge the batteries uninterruptedly for at least
10 hours.
3. Disconnect the external power source. Allow the
ventilator to operate on battery power until the
ventilator shuts off.
4. Re-connect the ventilator to the external power
source and charge the batteries uninterruptedly for
at least 10 hours.
9.3.4 Battery Storage
If the ventilator is not used for a long time, contact
servive providers to remove the batteries from the
ventilator. Failure to do so will over-discharge the
batteries and extend the battery charging time
noticeably. Not fully charge the batteries once every
2 months and keep battery power at 40-60%. Fully
charge the batteries before use.
When storing batteries, make sure the battery
electrodes do not get in touch with metal goods. In
case of long-time storage, place batteries in a cool
environment and keep battery power at 40-60%.
Placing batteries in a cool environment can delay
battery aging. Ideally, batteries should be stored in a
cool environment of -20℃ (-4 ℉ ) to +25℃ (77 ℉ ). Do
not store batteries outside the environmental range of
-20℃ (-4 ℉ ) to +40℃（104 ℉）
