Safety
The following sections provide important warnings and notices regarding ZOLL’s SurePower
Single Bay Charger.
Warnings
•Always check that a battery pack’s Ready light is on before using the battery in a
defibrillator.
•Do not use the SurePower Single Bay Charger in a patient environment.
•Charge only SurePower and SurePower II battery packs in the SurePower Single Bay
Charger. Charging other battery packs may cause overheating or damage.
•Accidental sliding or drop of the SurePower Single Bay Charger or battery may cause
physical injury. Operate the SurePower Single Bay Charger on a stable surface and be
careful when carrying or moving the unit to avoid injury. Damaged batteries may expose
users to a safety hazard. Should the SurePower Single Bay Charger or SurePower Battery
Pack be dropped, inspect and test the unit prior to further use following the procedures
described in this manual. Use caution when handling batteries with damaged case.
•Avoid prolonged exposure of the SurePower Single Bay Charger Operator’s Guide or
SurePower Battery Pack to direct sunlight to minimize charger and battery heating and the
damage that may occur from exposure to ultraviolet light.
•The SurePower Single Bay Charger and ZOLL rechargeable defibrillator batteries have
been tested against interference from radio frequency emissions typical of two-way radios
used in emergency service/public safety activities. Refer to Appendix A to determine
recommended operating distances from RF transmission equipment.
•Use only the AC cord supplied with the device. Failure to use the proper line cord could
result in excess leakage currents, EMC problems, and reduced safety.
•Do not disassemble the SurePower Single Bay Charger. A shock hazard exists. Refer all
problems to qualified personnel.
•Do not place anything on top of or beneath the SurePower Single Bay Charger, such as
blankets or cloths. Doing so may block the vents on the unit, preventing proper dissipation
of heat during operation.
•Do not use the SurePower Single Bay Charger unit stacked with other equipment.
•Do not use a battery unless the charger’s Ready LED is lit and the Fault LED is off. Failure
to do so may result in the use of a fully depleted battery.
•Use the SurePower Single Bay Charger only in a well-ventilated area. Should a battery
become overheated, the battery can vent gas that is harmful and potentially explosive.
•An insulation or ground failure in the SurePower Single Bay Charger can result in
dangerous leakage currents. To avoid this, perform periodic inspection following the
procedures described in this manual.
•Do not operate the SurePower Single Bay Charger in the presence of flammable agents
(such as gasoline), oxygen-rich atmospheres, or flammable anesthetics. Using the device in
the presence of flammable agents can cause an explosion.
•Do not immerse or set the SurePower Single Bay Charger or SurePower Battery Pack in
liquid. Using the device near or within puddles of water may present a shock hazard to the
operator, patient, and nearby personnel.
•A pinch hazard exists when installing a battery into the charging bay.
•If the display indicators on a SurePower Battery Pack are not consistent with the indicators
on the SurePower Single Bay Charger or ZOLL defibrillator, a charging fault condition is
present. Remove the battery from service as soon as practical, and verify the correct
operation of the charger, defibrillator, and battery.

x www.zoll.com 9650-000272-05 Rev. B
•Do not use the SurePower Single Bay Charger in environmental conditions that fall outside
of those specified in Chapter 6, “Product Specifications—SurePower Single Bay Charger.”
Using the SurePower Single Bay Charger in environmental conditions that fall outside those
described in the product specifications can result in failure of the unit.
•Do not use the SurePower Single Bay Charger in the presence of Electrosurical Units
(ESU).
•Do not short the power output pins (battery mating pins) of the charger.
•To avoid the risk of electric shock, the SurePower Single Bay Charger must only be
connected to a supply mains with protective earth.
•Do not use the SurePower Single Bay Charger in the rain.
Cautions
•Follow all recommended maintenance instructions. If a problem occurs, obtain service
immediately.
•Do not use ketones (MEK, acetone, etc.) to clean the SurePower Single Bay Charger.
•Do not sterilize or autoclave the SurePower Single Bay Charger.
•Do not touch the exposed pins in the charging bay -- if the pins are damaged, the charging
bay won’t be usable. These pins do not pose an electrical hazard.
•Do not install batteries into Monitor/Defibrillators or a SurePower Single Bay Charger that
is not plugged into live AC mains when storage may exceed 90 days. Battery damage may
occur.
•Do not connect any cables or devices to the covered connector port -- the connector port is
only for ZOLL factory use.
•Do not remove or discard the connector port cover.
Notes
•If you are disposing of your SurePower Single Bay Charger, contact your local authorities
to determine the requirements for the recycling and disposal of electrical equipment and
follow those requirements.
•The end-of-life of the SurePower Single Bay Charger is determined by the availability of
replacement parts and service for the unit. Contact ZOLL’s Technical Service Department
for information on the availability of replacement parts and service for the SurePower
Single Bay Charger.

connected to the AC mains.
Charger and Battery Keys
ZOLL’s defibrillator batteries and the bay in the SurePower Single Bay Charger are keyed to
prevent incompatible batteries from seating in the charging bay and damaging the SurePower
Single Bay Charger. The following illustration shows the key on the SurePower Single Bay
Charger.
Figure 1-3 Battery Key
Batteries that do not have the correct keys will not seat in the charging bay and cannot be
charged and tested by the SurePower Single Bay Charger.
Caution Do not use the SurePower Single Bay Charger to charge any battery packs which are not
designed for use with SurePower Single Bay Chargers.
Battery Charging Requirement
Each battery type has its own charging requirements. When you place a battery pack into the
bay of a SurePower Single Bay Charger, the charger identifies the battery type and the battery
communicates its charging requirements to the charger.

Charging Modes
9650-000272-05 Rev. B SurePower Single Bay Charger Operator’s Guide 1-5
Charging Modes
The SurePower Single Bay Charger supports two charging modes: QuickCharge and
ManualTest. These charging modes control how quickly the charger brings the battery to full
charge and whether or not the battery’s runtime indicator is recalibrated.
QuickCharge
The QuickCharge charging mode immediately charges the depleted battery.
The QuickCharge charging mode is the default charging method for ZOLL’s lithium ion
batteries, such as the SurePower Battery Pack. The QuickCharge mode is the quickest way to
charge lithium ion batteries, which do not require frequent testing to maintain their usable life.
ManualTest
The ManualTest charging mode tests and recalibrates ZOLL batteries.
The SurePower and SurePower II Battery Packs automatically recalibrate themselves.
We describe how to perform a ManualTest in Chapter 3.
In summary, the SurePower Single Bay Charger can ensure the availability of
fully-charged defibrillator batteries in an emergency situation. SurePower and SurePower II
Battery Packs can be recharged, recalibrated, and tested by this device.
