8.1 Battery Performance Optimization
When the battery is used for the first time, at least two complete optimizing cycles
should be ensured. A complete optimizing cycle contains the following: Charging
incessantly, and then discharging until the power of the veterinary infusion pump runs
out. During usage, regularly optimizing the battery performance will extend its lifespan.
It is suggested that the battery should be optimized when in use or in storage for three
months, or when the running time of the battery is significantly shortened.
Please follow the steps below during optimization:
1. Disconnect the pump from the animal and stop the infusion.
2. Switch the veterinary infusion pump on the AC power and charge the battery
incessantly for over 10 hours.
3. Disconnect the AC power and use the battery to charge the veterinary infusion
pump until the veterinary infusion pump is closed.
4. Switch the veterinary infusion pump over to AC power again and charge the
battery incessantly for over 10 hours.
5. The battery optimization is now complete.
8-2
NOTE
The lifespan of the battery depends on how frequently it is used and on
how long it has been used, battery capactiy decreases with increase in
charging and discharging times. If the maintenance and storage of the
battery is appropriate, the lifespan of the Lithium battery is no less than
300 times of full charging and discharging. If the use of battery is
improper, its lifespan shall be shortened or in failure status. We
recommend replacing the lithium battery every 3 years.
Please connect to the AC power source if [Battery Empty] alarm is
triggered. To prevent battery not used for a long time or in battery
empty status, if battery is not charging more than two months after
battery is empty, battery will be in failure status. Do not charge the
failure battery, and replace the failure battery.
If battery will not be used for a long time, we recommend keeping the
battery in a fully charged state and charging the battery every two
months for lifespan guarantee. Please replace the battery if the length of
its lifetime is obviously shortened during optimization.
The length of the battery’s lifetime depends on the device configuration
and operation, for example: Under the condition of the power supply by
the battery, frequent infusion at a high rate will also shorten the length
of the battery’s lifetime.
