Introduction
Introduction
The M4747A Battery Charger Kit contains:
z the M3517A AC Power Module
z the M3516A Sealed Lead Acid (SLA) Battery
Pack
z the M3506A Battery Charger Adapter.
These components provide the ability to charge
batteries outside of the M4735A HeartStart XL
Defibrillator/Monitor.
This guide provides directions for using the AC
Power Module and instructions for proper battery
maintenance.
For further detailed information on battery
maintenance, refer to About Sealed Lead Acid
Batteries, an application note. For information on
operating, troubleshooting, and maintaining the
defibrillator/monitor, refer to the M4735A HeartStart
XL Defibrillator/Monitor Instructions for Use.

Charging Configurations
Charging Configurations
Charging may take place while the battery is in either
the:
z M4747A Battery Charger,
or the
z M4735A HeartStart XL Defibrillator/Monitor.
Batteries charge to 90% of their capacity in
approximately 3 hours. It will take about 12
additional hours to reach a fully-charged state. It is
important to choose a charging configuration that
allows batteries to be fully charged between uses.
Configuration 1 - Frequent Use
If you use your HeartStart XL more than once a day,
there is not sufficient time between uses to fully
charge batteries in the HeartStart XL. In this
situation, the recommended practice is to charge
batteries using the Battery Charger Kit (as shown in
Figure 1), so that the batteries can reach a
fully-charged state.
Configuration 2 - Infrequent Use
If you use your HeartStart XL less than once a day,
there is sufficient time between uses to fully charge
batteries in the HeartStart XL. In this case, the
recommended practice is to charge the batteries
continuously by leaving the HeartStart XL connected
to AC power (as shown in Figure 2).

Overview of Indicators
Overview of Indicators
The AC Power Module has three LED indicators that
tell you the status of the power module and the
battery being charged. The indicators and their
meanings are as follows:

Connecting the AC Power Module
To connect the AC Power Module:
1. Plug the AC Power Module power cord into an
AC power source. (For North America, use only
120 V.)
2. Verify that the Power Indicator illuminates,
showing that power is supplied to the module.
(See Figure 3.)
3. Connect the AC Power Module interface cable to
the Battery Charger Adapter. To do so, align the
white arrow on the power module cable with the
white triangle on the receiving connector; push
the cable into the connector until you hear it click
in place.

Charging a Battery

A battery in the Battery Charger Adapter begins
charging when the AC Power Module is connected.
As the battery charges, the power module indicators
keep you informed about the battery’s status.

Batteries should be charged until they are fully
charged. This takes about 15 hours. Repeated partial
charging significantly decreases a battery’s life.
Batteries should be charged at temperatures between
10o C (50o F) and 30o C (86o F) for maximum battery
life. Batteries charge more slowly when the
temperature is below 5o C (41o F) or above 40o C
(104o F). Batteries do not charge at temperatures
above 60o C (140o F). Repeated charging at very high
or very low temperatures may shorten the life of a
battery.

Testing Battery Capacity
Testing Battery Capacity
As sealed lead acid batteries age due to usage and
storage conditions, their capacity to store and deliver
energy diminishes. The Battery Capacity Test
provides a quantitative measure of battery capacity.
Performing a Battery Capacity Test periodically over
the life of the battery gives an indication of how that
battery is aging, and what level of performance it is
capable of delivering.
A battery’s capacity is affected most by the
frequency of use and by the typical duration of each
use (i.e., how deeply it is discharged before
recharging). General guidelines for performing the
Battery Capacity Test are noted below.
Table 3

Capacity Test
Average Usage

duration*
Every 3 months
Frequent use, or for
longer duration
* “Infrequent use” is less than once per day. “Short duration”
is < 15 shocks, or < 30 minutes of monitoring, or < 6
shocks and 20 minutes of monitoring.
You should also perform a Battery Capacity Test any
time you are concerned about the battery’s
performance.
You may choose to perform the Battery Capacity Test
less frequently if your storage and usage procedures
ensure another charged battery is always available.

Testing Battery Capacity
Battery Capacity Test
To perform a Battery Capacity Test:
1. Turn the HeartStart XL off.
2. Label the HeartStart XL to indicate to others that
testing is in progress and the battery may not be
used.
3. Insert a charged battery.
4. If an AC power cord is connected, unplug it.
While pressing Mark , turn the Energy Select
knob to AED On or Manual On to start the test.
5. Allow the test to proceed to completion. The test
takes approximately three hours and is complete
when test results print out and the device turns
itself off.
6. Review the test results and take the appropriate
action, as follows:

Battery Capacity
Battery Capacity
A fully-charged M3516A battery, operating at room
temperature, provides greater than 100 minutes of
monitoring or more than 50 200-joule charge-shock
cycles.
Battery Life Expectancy
Life-expectancy of a battery depends on the
frequency and duration of use. When properly
maintained and stored, the life-expectancy of a
battery is about 1.5 years. For more aggressive use
models, the life-expectancy may be less.
Battery Storage
Use batteries regularly and rotate them to distribute
the use evenly. When storing batteries, make sure
that the battery terminals do not come in contact with
metallic objects.
Do not store batteries without charging them for
more than one month, if installed in the defibrillator,
or more than three months, if not installed in the
defibrillator. Storage at temperatures between 15oC
(59oF) and 30oC (86oF) is recommended to
maximize life-expectancy.
Caution
Storing at temperatures above 40o C (104oF) for
extended periods of time will significantly reduce a
battery’s life-expectancy.
13
Battery Disposal
Battery Disposal
Discard batteries two years after the date of
manufacture or sooner, if there are visual signs of
damage or if they fail the Battery Capacity Test. The
date of manufacture is located at the bottom of the
battery’s back label. Discard batteries in an
environmentally safe manner. Properly dispose of
batteries according to local regulations.
WARNING
14
Do not disassemble, puncture, or incinerate batteries. Be
careful not to short the battery terminals because this
could result in a fire hazard.
