7.4 Optimizing Battery Performance
A battery needs at least two optimizing cycles when it is put into use for the
first time. A battery cycle is one complete, uninterrupted charge of the battery,
followed by a complete, uninterrupted discharge of the battery. A battery
should be conditioned regularly to maintain its useful life. Condition a battery
once when it is used or stored for two months, or when its run time becomes
noticeably shorter.
To optimize a battery, follow this procedure:
1. Disconnect the monitor from the patient and stop all monitoring and measuring
procedures.
2. Place the battery in need of optimizing into the battery compartment to the
monitor.
3. Place the monitor in the charger stand and connect the AC mains. Allow the
battery to be charged uninterruptedly for above 4 hours.
4. Remove the AC mains and allow the monitor to run from the battery until it
shuts off.
5. Replace the monitor in the charger stand and connect the AC mains. Allow the
battery to be charged uninterruptedly for above 4 hours.
6. The optimizing of the battery is over.
7.5 Checking the Lithium Battery
The performance of a battery may deteriorate over time. To check the
performance of a battery, follow this procedure:
1. Disconnect the monitor from the patient and stop all monitoring and measuring
procedures.
2. Place the monitor in the charger stand and connect the AC mains. Allow the
battery to be charged uninterruptedly for above 4 hours.
3. Disconnect AC mains and allow the monitor to run on the battery until it shuts
off.
4. The operating time of a battery reflects its performance directly.
