Batteries
Each monitor is supplied with one VCR-type battery (a second battery is optional). The monitor is
capable of using two different types of batteries: sealed lead acid (SLA) (12 V, 2.3 Ah or
equivalent) or Spacelabs Medical’s nickel metal hydride (NiMH) (12 V, 2.45 Ah or equivalent).
Compatibility
Monitors with serial numbers starting with 367-1XXXX or 369-1XXXX incorporate a battery mating
“contact frame” which will allow the use of either SLA or NiMH batteries with the monitor. Earlier
monitors must be upgraded and will not accept the NiMH battery due to a “lockout feature” on the
end of the battery. No modifications are required for the charging system for compatibility with
either battery; the “smart” charger is capable of charging either type of battery.
Sealed Lead Acid (SLA)
SLA batteries are shipped fully charged and will require maintenance charging in the event they
are to be stored on a shelf or with power disconnected from the monitor for more than three (3)
months. SLA batteries must be “top charged” or, at a minimum, placed into the monitor and
plugged into AC power for a minimum of two (2) hours every three (3) months to maintain their
rated capacity.
