8.5 Checking the Lithium Ion Battery
The performance of a rechargeable lithium ion battery may deteriorate over time. To
check the performance of a battery, follow this procedure:
1. Disconnect the pulse oximeter from the animal and stop all monitoring and
measuring procedures.
2. Place the pulse oximeter in the Charger stand and connect the AC mains. Allow the
battery to be charged uninterruptedly for above 2 hours.
3. Disconnect AC mains and allow the pulse oximeter to run on the battery until it
shuts off.
The operating time of a battery reflects its performance directly. If the operating time of
a lithium ion battery is noticeably shorter than that stated in the specifications, replace it
or contact your service personnel.
NOTE
z
Life expectancy of a lithium ion battery depends on how frequent and
how long it is used. For a properly maintained and stored lithium ion
battery, its life expectancy is about 3 years. For more aggressive use
models, life expectancy can be less. We recommend replacing a lithium
ion battery every 3 years.

The operating time of a lithium ion battery depends on the configuration
and operation of the pulse oximeter.
