The Battery is mechanically keyed to the AutoPulse Platform and Battery Charger to facilitate correct
installation. The Battery’s back end contains connections for power and communications. A Battery
Status Check button illuminates the Battery’s status light-emitting diodes (LEDs).
A single Battery may perform as many as 100 charge/discharge cycles before the Battery reaches the end
of its service life. The Battery charge/discharge cycle count increments when the Battery Charger detects
that the Battery has been discharged more than 1/3 of its capacity (shallow discharge/recharge cycles will
not increment the cycle count).
Checking the Battery’s status allows you to determine the need for a charge to ensure adequate battery
capacity (run time). A green LED ensures that the Battery has the capacity for a minimum run time of
30 minutes on a typical patient. Batteries self-discharge when not in use. Recharge the Battery before use
if the amber LED illuminates (see Figure 1-3).
Caution: Remove the protective plastic cap from the Battery before attempting to charge the Battery.
Caution: Only use ZOLL Circulation Batteries specifically designed for use with the AutoPulse
System. The use of other batteries may cause permanent damage to the AutoPulse Platform
and will void the warranty.
