2.3 Batteries
Touch Bionics batteries, magnetic charge port, DC port
or switch block components should always be used with
the i-limb
® hand. The battery should be changed every
12 months.
Only Touch Bionics batteries are ap-
proved for use with the i-limb
® hand. Use
of alternative batteries will invalidate the
warranty and compromise general safety
of the device.
Cutting or modifying the battery wires in
any way will invalidate the warranty and
compromise device safety.
Internal batteries
Internal batteries are available in 1300 mAh or 2000 mAh.
The internal battery is designed to be positioned be-
tween the inner and outer socket. Ensure adequate space
is created during fabrication of the prosthesis by using
the battery dummies.
It is advisable to create a flat surface within the outer
socket for the battery to be attached to the surface using
Velcro.
Powerpack batteries
Powerpack, external, batteries have a housing mounted
on the outer surface of the prosthesis. Standard fabrica-
tion processes and techniques should be followed, utiliz-
ing the housing dummies to create the necessary shap-
ing to accommodate the battery housing.
Do not bend or shape the battery in any
way.
Ensure the battery is not subject to contin-
ued pressure once fitted.
Do not handle the battery by the wires, or
pull on the wires
