BATTERY INDICATORS
The LIFEPAK 1000 defibrillator can be powered by two types of batteries:
• A nonrechargeable Lithium manganese dioxide battery
• A rechargeable Lithium-ion battery
Battery Charge Level Indicators
Both battery types have a fuel gauge that indicates the approximate charge level of the battery
when it is not installed in a defibrillator. Push the gray button below the battery symbol to check
the battery’s charge level before installing it in the defibrillator.
Note: Always carry a spare, fully-charged battery.
For both battery types, the four battery indicators shown here represent approximate charge.
Figure 2-3 Battery Charge Indicators
Note: The fuel gauge on a new rechargeable battery will not function until the battery has
been charged for the first time.
Battery Warning Indicators
Figure 2-4 Battery Warning Indicators
The nonrechargeable battery is shipped to customers fully charged. All four LEDs should
illuminate when the fuel gauge is activated. Check the charge level of a new nonrechargeable
battery before putting it into service. When optimally maintained, a new nonrechargeable
battery can provide approximately 17 hours of “ON time” or 440 discharges at 200 joules.
The rechargeable battery is shipped to customers at approximately 40% charge and must be
fully charged before use. Charge the battery fully within six months of when you receive it and at
> 75% charge > 50% charge > 25% charge 25% charge or less
For both battery types, a single flashing LED indicates the battery
charge level is very low. The battery should be removed from service
for charging (rechargeable battery) or disposal (nonrechargeable
battery).
For rechargeable batteries only, two flashing LEDs indicate the
battery is faulty and should be returned to your local Physio-Control
representative.
