Detachable Battery Pack
Philips Respironics oers a detachable Lithium-Ion battery pack. To
use the detachable battery pack, snap the battery into place on the
back of the ventilator, as shown in the following illustration. When
the device is not connected to an AC power source or an external
battery, the detachable battery will power the device, if attached.
The length of time the ventilator will operate on battery power
depends on many factors such as device settings, battery charge
level, and condition or age of the battery. When fully charged, a new
battery can power the ventilator for approximately three hours under
typical patient conditions.
Whenever the ventilator is connected to AC power, it will
automatically recharge the detachable battery pack. A completely
discharged detachable battery will reach 80% charge status within 8
hours, when charging at approximately 23˚ C ambient temperature.
Insert and securely latch the detachable battery into the device as
shown below.
