HeartMate Universal Battery Charger IFU 18
3.3 Viewing Battery Information on the Universal Battery
Charger (UBC) Screen
To check a battery’s charge status, place the battery into a charging
pocket, then press and release the number button for that pocket. The
following will appear on the display panel (
Figure 15
):
•
Pocket Number
•
Battery symbol
•
Percentage of available charge
For example, if approximately 50% of the battery’s power is available
(i.e., battery is 1/2 charged), half of the battery symbol is filled and
“50%” appears on the screen.
After five seconds, the display returns to the default screen (“HeartMate
CHARGER”), unless the number button for this pocket is pressed again.
Pressing the button a second time brings up the total number of
use/charge cycles (see immediately below).
To see how many times a battery has been used/charged, press and release
the number button while the Charge Status Screen (
Figure 15
) is still on.
The following will appear on the display panel (
Figure 16
):
•
Pocket Number
•
Total number or uses/charges for this battery
•
How much power the battery can potentially hold if fully charged
(measured in mAh)
After 10 seconds, the display panel returns to the default (“HeartMate
CHARGER”) screen (
Figure 13
).
