Battery Parameters
The
Battery Level
indicator gives an estimate of how much power
remains in the battery which is currently in use by the CCV. When the
indicators decline to the two leftmost bars, they will turn red and a
different battery must be engaged or the CCV must be recharged.
If the battery in use falls to 20 minutes of remaining power, the Critical
Battery alarm will activate. It cannot be silenced. A charged battery
must be engaged or the CCV must be connected to mains power
immediately, or alternative ventilation must be arranged for the patient.
The internal battery can be fully charged in 5 hours if it is not in use, or
10 hours if it is being used to run the CCV while charging. The external
battery takes 10 to 20 hours to recharge depending upon whether or
not it is being used while it is charging.
When the CCV is connected to active mains power the top indicator
light to the right of the battery level will illuminate. When the external
battery pack is attached, the bottom indicator light will illuminate.
NOTE: The CCV has an internal battery and an external battery, but
will only charge or use one battery at a time and will not automatically
switch between batteries if one is depleted. To keep the batteries fully
charged and make sure that a backup is always available, keep the
CCV plugged into mains and the external battery plugged into mains,
but do not keep the external battery plugged into the CCV. For more
information on the internal and external batteries, see
