Tips to Optimize Your Battery Life
• Do not let the battery drain to a fully discharged state (which you will be alerted to by a sound and a red indicator on the dashboard next
to the screen). If the battery reaches a discharged state, this will potentially damage the life of the battery. If possible, plug the T7 in
frequently to keep the charge as strong as possible and prevent a fully discharged state.
• Always fully charge the battery. Do not stop charging until the battery has reached a full charge.
• Do not store the battery in a discharged state. If possible, keep the T7 plugged in when not in use.
6.2 PROPER POWER SYSTEM RECHARGING
To prolong the T7’s power system and condition the battery for optimal performance, always charge the battery fully.
To recharge the T7, simply plug the power cord into a hospital-grade receptacle. The cart has started its charging cycle
once the BLI lights strobe from bottom to top (note: initially all of the LEDs may be dark or only the red LED illuminated).
For maximum battery utilization and long life, the cart power system features a sophisticated charging system with four
modes of charge: Trickle, Bulk, Overcharge, and Float Charge. When first plugged in, the cart enters a Trickle Mode, during
which a small amount of current is fed to the battery system to determine its voltage level and state of charge. When a
predetermined level is reached, the charger automatically transitions to Bulk Mode, during which the recharge current is
delivered to the battery at maximum level to facilitate faster restoration of operation. As the battery reaches full capacity,
the charger moves into Overcharge Mode to ensure that maximum charge is returned to the battery. The charger then
enters a Float Charge Mode for long-term maintenance of the charge level until power is drawn from the system.
6.3 BATTERY LEVEL INDICATOR
The Battery Level Indicator (BLI) indicates the status of the T7’s power system. Several modes are displayed through the BLI.
• Turned off or fully discharged battery: All of the T7’s BLI lights are dark.
• Charging Mode: The BLI is depicted with four bars representing increments of battery charge level. If the battery is
less than 25% charged, the lowest bar will be blinking. If the battery is less than 50% charged, the lowest bar will be
solid and the second bar will be blinking. If the battery is less than 75% charged, the lowest two bars will be solid and
the second to highest bar will be blinking. If the battery is less than 100% charged, the lower three bars will be solid and
the top bar will be blinking.
• Charging Finished Mode: When input power is removed from the cart by unplugging from the wall, all four lights
are illuminated.
• Discharge Mode: The BLI displays how much battery capacity is left. At full battery capacity, all lights are illuminated.
As power is drawn from the battery, the lights extinguish sequentially from top to bottom, counting down capacity
in approximately 25% increments. Once the cart reaches the 25% level, the bottom LED turns to yellow. Once the
battery level reaches the critically low battery level, the bottom LED turns red and an optional beeping sounds. This is
an indication that approximately one minute of run time remains and the system should be plugged in immediately to
prevent loss of operation and/or data.
