Battery Insertion
Your Animas® 2020 pump is designed to achieve optimum performance and battery longevity
with an Energizer® Lithium L91 AA battery (1.5V).
It is possible to safely power your Animas® 2020 pump with a conventional AA Alkaline
battery (1.5V), but battery life is significantly reduced. Be sure you select the correct
Battery Type on the Verify screen when you change the battery to ensure accuracy of
battery life indicator.
If you must use an AA Alkaline battery, the following is recommended:
Energizer® E91 (labeled as Energizer® MAX)•
Rechargeable batteries and Carbon-Zinc batteries do not have the necessary
characteristics to power the pump and must not be used. Use of these batteries voids
your pump warranty.
Under no circumstances should you attempt to power your Animas® 2020 pump with
a high-energy 3.6V AA Lithium battery. Use of these batteries could permanently damage
the pump and voids its warranty.
