INOGEN ONE G3 OXYGEN CONCENTRATOR
TECHNICAL MANUAL
Page 13 of 17
The number of cycles that the battery will last is highly
dependent upon the temperature at which the battery is
charged. Inogen recommends that batteries not be charged
at room temperatures exceeding 75
o
F (24
o
C).
DESIGN
NOTE
The BA-300 and BA-316 will typically achieve 500
charge/discharge cycles while retaining 80% of their original
capacity if proper battery care is taken.
Battery Time Remaining Clock
The Inogen One G3 continuously displays battery time
remaining. It may be necessary to inform the user that this
displayed time is
only an estimate
, and the actual time
remaining may vary from this value.
To avoid running out of battery power unexpectedly, users
should regularly monitor the displayed battery time
remaining and/or carry a back-up power supply (extra
charged battery or AC Power Supply).
Storage
Instruct patients to remove the battery from the Inogen One
G3 when it is not in use to avoid inadvertent discharge.
Leaving a battery attached to an idle Inogen One G3 for
prolonged periods will result in battery damage that will
severely shorten the expected life of the battery.
DESIGN
NOTE
When the concentrator is off but the battery installed, the
battery will continue to provide a small amount of power to
the concentrator’s microprocessor. This power draw will
empty a full battery in approximately 2-3 weeks.
CAUTION
Leaving a Battery in the Inogen One G3 while the device is
unused will irreversibly damage the battery. After such
storage, the battery may not be able to recharge or its
life cycle and/or capacity will be greatly diminished. A
full battery can be damaged in as little as 20 days if left
in the concentrator while not plugged in.
Instruct users to avoid storing the Inogen One G3 battery
in extreme temperatures, below -4
o
F (-20
o
C) or above 140
o
F
(60
o
C), for any amount of time. They should avoid leaving
batteries in automobiles, where these temperatures can be
regularly exceeded. Storage of the Inogen One G3 battery
in a cool, dry location will help to maximize the longevity
of the battery.
