Note: Newly-charged Batteries can be warm to the touch. This is a consequence of normal operation.
4.2.1 AutoPulse Multi-Chemistry Battery Charger Test-Cycle mode
In addition to the Performance Test, the AutoPulse Multi-Chemistry Battery Charger periodically
executes a more extensive test on the Battery. The “Test-Cycle” measures a Battery’s charge holding
capability by cycling the Battery through a charge-discharge-recharge sequence. At the end of the
sequence, the Battery is tested to ensure performance standards are met.
The AutoPulse Multi-Chemistry Battery Charger will automatically perform a Test-Cycle every 10th
charge/discharge cycle or at a minimum of every 30 days. When a Battery is placed in the Multi-
Chemistry Battery Charger under those conditions, the Test-Cycle yellow LED will illuminate and the
Charger will automatically begin the Test-Cycle.
Note: Do not remove a Battery from the AutoPulse Multi-Chemistry Battery Charger during a Test-
Cycle, or the Battery’s run time may be reduced. If a Battery is removed during a Test-Cycle,
the Charger will automatically restart the Test-Cycle the next time the Battery is inserted into it.
AutoPulse Batteries that pass the Test-Cycle remain ready for use. Once the Test-Cycle has been
completed, the Battery is either restored to ready (green LED on the Control Panel) or has failed and
should be replaced (red LED on the Control Panel). The normal Test-Cycle requires up to 12 hours.
If a Battery has failed the Test-Cycle (Fail LED), it should be considered out of service. In the U.S.,
contact ZOLL Technical Service at 1-800-348-9011. Outside the U.S., contact your local ZOLL
representative.
Idle The Battery Charger is unable to
recognize the Battery. Remove and re-insert the Battery. If
the status is still Idle, refer to
Appendix B, “Troubleshooting” for
more information.
