6 CS100/CS300 BATTERY OPERATION
CS100/CS300 Optimum Battery Performance
To obtain optimum battery performance and expected battery life the following guidelines should be observed.
• The batteries should be maintained at full charge when the IABP is not in use. It is required that the IABP be plugged
into an AC outlet when the system is not in use. Verify the battery is charging by observing the charge indicator on
the pump module. If the unit must be stored for an extended time period (2 months or longer} and AC power is not
available to maintain the internal battery, or if the unit is stored in an ambient exceeding the maximum operating
temperature, disconnect the system battery pack from the system console. Due to battery self-discharge the
disconnected batteries must be fully recharged at least every four months.
• The battery contains a safety vent that will allow gases to be released should its rating be exceeded. If this vent is
actuated do not operate the unit and contact a qualified service representative.
• Do not short circuit the battery or battery pack terminals. Keep battery pack covers on at all times to avoid objects or
liquids falling on batteries.
• Excessive heat is very detrimental to battery life. Do not operate the system in ambients above the maximum
operating temperature.
• DO NOT attempt to repair the battery. If the case is cracked or terminal leads are broken replace with the same
rate battery.
• DO NOT disassemble battery. The battery contains an electrolyte which can injure skin or damage clothing. In the
event that electrolyte gets on skin or in eyes, immediately flush with water for 15 minutes and get prompt medical
attention.
• Batteries must be replaced as pairs, (i.e., same lot/date code).
• When a Low Battery message is displayed after any system operation, the battery should be recharged within several
hours to prevent battery damage
