Taking Care of Your Controller and Pod 22
Charging the controller battery
Under normal use, the battery should hold its charge for more than one day.
An Omnipod 5 app message alerts you when the battery charge is low. e battery
icon in the status bar tracks the remaining charge in the battery (see "3.3. Status
Bar" on page 24). To charge the battery, see "Charge the battery" on page 46.
You can charge your battery many times, but all batteries have a limited lifespan.
If you notice a signicant deterioration in the duration of the controller's battery
charge, contact Customer Care.
Note: Charging times can vary depending on the surrounding temperature and
the remaining battery level.
Tip: Develop a routine to charge the controller battery at the same time every day.
Do not wait for the low battery message.
Warning: If the battery state of charge becomes critically low, the controller
turns itself OFF. At this point, you cannot use the controller until you have
plugged in the charger to recharge the battery.
Note: If the controller battery is critically low and the controller has turned OFF,
your Pod continues to deliver Automated Mode insulin or Manual Mode basal
insulin according to the Basal Program in progress or temp basal. If you do not
charge your controller battery, this insulin delivery continues until the Pod expires.
Note: e history records stay in memory for 1 year even if the battery power is
critically low.
