Ageing
Even with optimum care, a rechargeable battery will show signs of ageing after 2
–
3 years.
After approx. 200
–
500 charging cycles, a NiCd battery is no longer able to chemically store
the electrical energy. The battery is thus rendered useless and must be replaced with a new
one. For this reason, the PRIMEDIC™ AkuPak th
e date of manufacture stored. After 2.5
years, the device issues the voice message < Charging status battery low, please recharge >.
At the same time, the battery symbol appears on the status display. If necessary, PRIMEDIC™
AkuPak should be replaced.
Faults and how to remedy them
Fault
Action to be taken
The battery has been charged using
PRIMEDIC™ ClipCharger/Charger once the
Charge LED goes out, and yet the switched-
on device does not display full battery
capacity.
Recharge the equipment using
PRIMEDIC™
ClipCharger/Charger one
more time. The charging process may have
been terminated due to overheating.
Battery does not take up the charge since
the battery temperature is below 0°C or
above 40°C.
Bring the battery temperature within the
charging temperatu
re range of 0°C and
40°C.
Charge LED does not light up immediately
after plugging in the PRIMEDIC™
ClipChargers/Charger
There may be a delay of up to 5 min before
the charging cycle begins. Continue to
monitor the Charge LED
Charge LED does not light up even after
5
minutes, even though the PRIMEDIC™
ClipCharger/Charger is plugged in
Battery charging is only performed when
the capacity falls below 80 %. Check the
battery capacity shown on the display. If the
charging cycle does not begin even though
the capacity is low (< 80 %), the battery is
defective and must be replaced.
The battery is not used and is discharged
completely after several weeks
The battery capacity falls continually. After
approx. 10 weeks, it is completely
discharged (self-discharge). Please charge
the battery.
The battery remains unused for more than
10 weeks and cannot be charged
Try one more time to charge the battery (if
possible, during maintenance cycle in
Charge Comfort). If the problem still
persists, contact METRAX Service.
