BATTERY CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Battery Type and Charging
The Z-800F can operate on internal rechargeable battery
power, enabling continued infusion when the patient is being
transferred or during electrical power failure.
When the pump runs on battery power, the POWER indicator
is off, and the BATTERY indicator
is on.
The Z-800F Pump is equipped with a standard configuration
of 9.6 volt 4500mAh Nickel-Metal-Hydride battery. The
battery charges whenever the pump is plugged into an AC
outlet. The life expectancy of the battery is dependent on the
amount of use, the depth of discharge, and the state of the
charge that is maintained. Generally, the battery will have the
longest life if the pump is always plugged in and the battery
use is infrequent. Frequent use of battery power and
insufficient battery charge cycles will significantly decrease
the life of the battery. It is recommended that the battery be
replaced after three years.
The quality of the battery is also a significant factor in
determining battery life and runtime. The battery cannot be
repaired and should not be opened. The battery may only be
replaced with an approved battery from Zyno Medical. Use
of any other brand may yield poor performance, and will
invalidate the warranty.
The battery should be charged in a room with a temperature
between 50 and 86 °F (10 – 30 °C) to minimize charge time
and maximize battery life.
