Caring for the LIFEPAK 1000
LIFEPAK 1000 Defibrillator Operating Instructions 5-5

LIFEPAK 1000 Defibrillator Nonrechargeable Battery
The nonrechargeable battery never requires recharging. The approximate level of charge in the
battery is indicated by the fuel gauge on the battery, on the readiness display when the
defibrillator is off, or on the screen when the defibrillator is in use.
The fuel gauge on the nonrechargeable battery provides an easy way to determine the available
battery capacity, which is equivalent to the level of battery charge for this type of battery. The
nonrechargeable battery is shipped to customers fully charged. Push the gray button below the
battery symbol to check the charge level of a new nonrechargeable battery before installing it in
a defibrillator. All four LEDs should illuminate.
When optimally maintained, a new nonrechargeable battery pak can provide approximately 17
hours of “ON” time or 440 discharges at 200 joules. Turning the defibrillator on (“ON” time) uses
battery capacity. Battery charge decreases while the battery is in the defibrillator because of the
battery’s normal self-discharge rate and the energy used by the defibrillator auto tests. If
installed in a defibrillator that is not used, the battery has a standby life of five years. Any patient
or training use of the defibrillator, including “ON” time and shocks, reduces the battery’s
standby and useful life.
A new nonrechargeable battery has a shelf life of five years if stored at the proper temperature.
The battery (stored outside the defibrillator) self-discharges over time; therefore, when the
battery is eventually placed in the defibrillator, its useful life will be reduced depending on how
long it was stored.
To properly maintain nonrechargeable batteries:
Do not attempt to recharge.
Do not allow electrical connection between the battery contacts.
Use and store batteries at temperatures specified in Appendix A. Higher temperatures
accelerate the loss of charge and decrease battery life. Lower temperatures reduce battery
capacity.
LIFEPAK 1000 Defibrillator Lithium-ion Rechargeable Battery
The Lithium-ion (Li-ion) rechargeable battery is the appropriate battery option when the
LIFEPAK 1000 defibrillator is used on a frequent basis, or is used with a simulator for training.
When optimally maintained, a new fully-charged battery can provide approximately ten hours of
“ON” time or 261 discharges at 200 joules. The rechargeable battery is shipped to customers at
approximately 40% charge and must be fully charged before use. Charge the battery fully within
6 months of when you receive it and at least once every 6 months thereafter. Use only the
LIFEPAK 1000 Defibrillator Battery Charger to charge the battery.
WARNING!
Possible explosion, fire, or noxious gas.
Attempting to recharge a nonrechargeable battery can cause an explosion or fire or release
noxious gas. Dispose of expired or depleted nonrechargeable batteries as described in these
operating instructions.
CAUTION!
Possible battery damage.
Electrical connection between battery contacts can permanently disable the battery.
