Conditioning the Battery
NOTE: The definition of conditioning the battery is simply charging
the battery for a full six hour cycle before the initial use of the
product.
1. Disconnect the battery from the compressor.
2. Connect the power cable (AC) or auto adapter cable (DC)
to the battery.
3. Charge the battery for a full six hour cycle.
The orange light will indicate if the battery is properly
charging. Battery charging to full capacity is dependent upon
many factors. Charging of the battery requires at least 6 hours.
Failure to condition the battery prior to its first use may result
in a reduced battery life expectancy. To assure maximum life
performance of the battery after conditioning, leave the
battery connected to a power source when not in use.
The battery operation time depends upon the charge
condition of the battery, the temperature, the storage time of
the battery prior to use, the amount of medication used for
treatment, and the number of charge/discharge cycles. The
manufacturer of the battery recommends the battery be
conditioned every one or two months.
