least once every six months thereafter. When optimally maintained, a new fully-charged battery
provides approximately ten hours on “ON time” or 261 discharges at 200 joules. Since all
rechargeable batteries permanently lose battery capacity over time, and because battery
capacity together with the level of battery charge determines how long a rechargeable battery
will provide defibrillator power, you can expect that a fully-charged battery’s “ON time” will
decrease with age.
BATTERY CHARGER INDICATORS
The LIFEPAK 1000 Defibrillator Battery Charger is intended for use with LIFEPAK 1000
defibrillator Lithium-ion (Li-ion) rechargeable batteries. No other batteries are compatible with
this charger. For complete battery charger information, refer to the LIFEPAK 1000 Defibrillator
Battery Charger Instructions for Use provided with the charger.
When power is applied to the battery charger, both LEDs on the charger flash briefly and then
turn off. Before inserting a battery, inspect the battery contacts for obvious damage or foreign
substances.
Figure 2-5 describes the LEDs on the battery charger when a rechargeable battery
is inserted.

LED Behavior Definition Explanation
1 Flashing green
Battery is
charging. A fully depleted battery takes approximately
4 hours to charge.
1 Steady green
Battery charging is
complete.
If the battery is kept in the charger, the battery will
remain in an optimally charged condition. The
charger enters “maintenance” mode after charging
completes, automatically providing periodic top-off
charging.
2 Red
Battery or charger
is faulty.
To test the battery: Remove battery and check fuel
gauge; two flashing LEDs indicate a faulty battery.
To test the charger: Reinstall a functional battery; a
persistent red charger LED indicates a faulty
charger. Contact your authorized service personnel
for assistance with a faulty battery or charger.
