Charging The Battery - Invacare IRC 1721 Manual Del Usuario

Battery charging to full capacity is dependent upon many factors. The battery must be
charged for at least 16 hours. Failure to condition the battery prior to its first use may
result in a reduced battery life expectancy. To assure maximum life performance of the
battery after conditioning, leave the battery connected to a power source when not in use.
The battery operation time depends upon the charge condition of the battery, the
temperature, the storage time of the battery prior to use, the amount of medication used
for treatment and the number of charge/discharge cycles. The manufacturer of the
battery recommends the battery be conditioned every four months.

Charging the Battery

NOTE: For this procedure, refer to Detail "A" in FIGURE 1.
1. Press in the two tabs on the side of the battery pack and separate the battery from the
compressor.
2. Connect the power cable (AC) to the AC adapter and cable provided with your Stratos
Portable Compressor.
3. Lift rubber cover (not shown) on the battery and connect the AC adapter and cable to
the battery.
4. Plug the power cable into the appropriate power source.
The ORANGE light will turn on indicating that the charging cycle has begun. The battery
will reach full charge after 16 hours. Completion of the charge cycle is indicated by a
GREEN battery light. Full charge will provide approximately 35 minutes of operation.
NOTE: In order to ensure maximum performance of the battery, keep the battery plugged in and
charging when not in use. This will not overcharge or damage the battery.
NOTE: The battery MUST be plugged into a power source for the battery to charge. The battery
will not charge when it is attached to the compressor nebulizer system.
NOTE: NEVER leave the battery connected to either power cable when the cable is disconnected
from the power source. This will cause the battery to discharge.
Using the Portable Nebulizer Battery
NOTE: For this procedure, refer to Detail "B" in FIGURE 1.
1. Align the rubber feet of the compressor with the indentations on the battery pack.
2. While holding the battery pack and compressor, push in the two tabs on the side of the
battery pack. This will allow the two assemblies to mate, and after releasing the tabs,
will hold the two assemblies together.
3. Gently pull the compressor and battery pack in opposite directions to ensure the tabs
have seated properly.
NOTE: The GREEN light on the battery will not illuminate while the nebulizer is being powered.
The RED light will turn on when the battery power level is low. When the RED light is on,
immediately find an alternative power source.
