Discarding/Recycling Batteries
A properly maintained LIFEPAK 15 Li-ion battery should have a useful life of at least two years, although internal parameters will
establish useful battery life. You should discard/recycle a LIFEPAK 15 Li-ion battery under any of the following conditions:
•
There is physical damage to the battery case.
•
The Li-ion battery charger indicates a battery fault (solid red LED) during a charging cycle.
•
The battery fuel gauge indicates two or fewer green LED bars after the battery completes a charge cycle.
Recycle batteries locally according to national, regional, and local governmental regulations. For instructions on disposing of
batteries, see
