Introduction
The T4A is supplied with two rechargeable
lithium-ion Battery Packs, enabling users
to save thousands of dollars per year
compared with the lithium or alkaline
batteries in the Trackit Mk3 and other
ambulatory EEG devices on the market.
However, battery charging management
and using multi-bay chargers is ideal to
ensure the highest performance, as well
as performing the maximum number of
studies for workflow eiciency.

Battery Facts
The T4A uses two rechargeable, lithium-ion Battery
Packs, supplied from Lifelines Neuro. It can use one
or two Battery Packs at a time.
Both T4A Battery Packs must be fully charged
in the battery chargers provided by Lifelines
prior to any study recording.
The Battery Packs can be charged in a single-bay,
or four-bay charger.
A four-bay charger enables the user to always have
fully charged Battery Packs available for the next
patient to increase eiciency. The only way to charge
them is to use the battery chargers provided by
Lifelines.
Important – The Battery Packs will not
charge when in the T4A
