2.1 Expected AutoPulse Li-Ion Battery Life
The expected service life of a properly maintained AutoPulse Li-Ion Battery is three years from its date
of manufacture. ZOLL recommends that customers plan to purchase batteries on intervals that reduce
the likelihood that they will have all batteries due for replacement simultaneously. A specific
replacement interval may be difficult to establish until use and charging patterns are well established.
Some customers may want to replace batteries on a preventative basis regardless of the Battery’s
capacity or remaining life.
Note: The Battery will not operate after five years from its date of manufacture.
2.2 Handling New AutoPulse Li-Ion Batteries
New AutoPulse Li-Ion Batteries should be unpacked immediately and not stored for any extended
period. Before putting new AutoPulse Li-Ion Batteries into service, they must be placed into the
AutoPulse Multi-Chemistry Battery Charger. The Multi-Chemistry Charger will charge and test the
Battery, and may automatically initiate a Test-Cycle. If a test cycle is initiated, do not remove the
AutoPulse Li-Ion Battery from the Charger until the Test-Cycle is complete. This process could take up
to 12 hours.
