2.5 Information on the battery
Inspection of the internal power supply
•
Since the internal battery is not maintained automatically in a fully
operational state, it is necessary to check the charging status regularly
and, if necessary, the battery must be replaced by service staff.
•
The battery may only be replaced by trained service staff, since the
replacement by inadequately trained personnel could result in a
hazard (such as excessive temperatures, fire or explosion)!
The charge state of the battery is indicated by the corresponding LED status indica-
tor (for explanation see section 3.3.1).
Prior to the initial startup of the secretion aspirator Allegra M30 it is urgently
recommended to charge the battery completely and to repeat this after the first
uses.
The secretion aspirator Allegra M30 is equipped with a lithium ion battery
which only has a limited self-discharge on its disposal in contrast to conventional
battery types.
Lithium ion batteries do not have a memory effect. Therefore they can and should be
recharged at any time after initial charging. Only frequent short charging should be
avoided. The typical service life of the battery amounts to approximately 500 load
cycles, subsequently approximately 70% of the primary capacity are still available.
The battery of the secretion aspirator Allegra M30 is protected against
depth discharge by means of protective measures; however the instructions on
charging mentioned above should be observed. The battery is also protected against
overheating during charging. If the battery temperature is exceeded during charging
due to ambient conditions not intended, charging will be automatically interrupt-
ed temporary to allow cooling. This feature ensures the safety of the battery and
protects it from wear.
