Displaying Battery Runtime
The Propaq MD Battery Pack can display its present status.
Note: The Propaq Battery Pack’s LEDs light only when the Display button is pressed.
To display the status of the Propaq MD Battery Pack, press and
release the Display button (momentary press) on the top of the
battery.
When you press and release the Display button, all LEDs blink to
indicate that they work. The battery then lights specific LEDs for
approximately 10 seconds to indicate the battery’s runtime, calibration
status, and fault state.
We describe what these LEDs indicate in the following sections.
Propaq MD Battery Pack
Icon LED Indications
This is the runtime indicator that displays the estimated
runtime of the Propaq MD Battery Pack in your defibrillator.
When you momentarily press and release the Display
button on the Propaq MD Battery Pack, the LEDs above
these icons light for approximately 10 seconds to indicate
the battery’s estimated run time.
If the battery is fully charged, the LED over each of the five
runtime indicator icons illuminates. As the battery
discharges, the number of illuminated LEDs decreases.
As the Propaq MD Battery Pack discharges, pressing the
Display button will light, from left to right, the LED’s that
indicate the battery’s run time. For example, if four LED’s
light, the battery can power a defibrillator for at least
3 hours (displayed as 3:00+); if three LED’s light, the battery
can power the defibrillator for at least 2 hours (displayed as
2:00+), and so on.
When you press the Display button on a battery that is
installed and powering a Propaq MD unit, the runtime
indicator displays the run time for the battery in that specific
defibrillator.
When a Propaq MD Battery Pack is not installed in a
Propaq MD unit, the runtime indicator displays the
runtime for the battery at a nominal drain rate for a
Propaq MD Unit.
Note: If the left-most LED of the runtime indicator
blinks, the battery has less than fifteen minutes
of use left, and defibrillator shutdown will soon
occur. Recharge the battery as soon as possible.

Cleaning
Clean the Propaq MD Battery Pack with a soft damp cloth and mild soap.
Do not immerse or set the Propaq MD Battery Pack in fluids of any kind. Do not use alcohol or
ketones to clean the Propaq MD Battery Pack.
Maintenance -- Testing and Inspection
Perform a battery check, which verifies that the battery is fully charged and fault free, as part of
any regularly scheduled unit test. Press the battery’s Display button to perform the battery
check.
As part of your defibrillator/monitor maintenance program, verify that the battery’s LEDs work
(press the Display button to test LEDs) -- if the LEDs do not work, remove the battery from
service. Also check the battery casing for cracks or other damage -- if the battery is cracked or
damaged, remove it from service.
Propaq MD Battery Pack
Icon LED Indications
This is the Recalibration icon.
This LED lights for approximately 10 seconds (after you
press and release the Display button) if the battery needs to
be calibrated. If the Recalibration LED lights, the runtime
indicator will not display run time for that battery. For best
performance of the battery, you should recalibrate the
battery as soon as possible.
To manually recalibrate the Propaq MD Battery Pack, you
can insert the battery into the SurePower Charger Station
(using the Propaq Battery Adaptor) and perform a
ManualTest (for more information, see the ZOLL
SurePower Charger Station Operator’s Guide). After you
recalibrate the battery, the Recalibration LED will only flash
momentarily when you press the Display button.
This is the Fault Icon.
If the Propaq MD Battery Pack detects a battery fault, this
LED lights for approximately 10 seconds after you press the
Display button.
If the Fault LED lights, the runtime indicator will not display
run time for that battery.
See the following section for more information on battery
faults.

Extended Storage
Do not store the Propaq MD Battery Pack for extended periods in a fully charged state. If you
must store the Propaq MD Battery Pack for an extended period
1. Charge the Propaq MD Battery Pack until three runtime LEDs light (this takes
approximately 1.5 hours when charging a fully depleted battery).
2. Recharge the Propaq MD Battery Pack until three runtime LEDs light every 4 months.
Checking Capacity Loss
To check battery capacity (the amount of charge the battery can hold), press and hold down the
Display button for at least 5 seconds.
Press and hold down the Display button for at least
5 seconds.
While you hold down the Display button, the
runtime indicator displays the battery runtime.
When you release the Display button, the
runtime indicator displays the battery capacity
for 2 seconds, then redisplays the battery
runtime.
During the 2 seconds after you release the
Display button, the runtime indicator displays
battery capacity and will light five LEDs to
indicate that the capacity is equal or close to
that of a new battery.
After displaying battery capacity for 2 seconds,
all LEDs blink and then display the battery’s
runtime.
Over time, as you use a Propaq MD Battery
Pack, the battery capacity decreases and this
capacity check will light fewer LEDs. When the
capacity check lights only a single LED, the
battery is at or near 60% of its original capacity,
and you should remove the battery from service.
If the Recalibration or Fault LED lights after
you release the Display button, the runtime
indicator will not display the capacity or run time
for that battery.

9650-0809-01 Rev. A Propaq ® MD Battery Pack Guide 7
Understanding Battery Faults
The Propaq MD Battery Pack can detect one or more simultaneously occurring faults that
render the battery unfit for use.
To determine the faults that affect a battery, follow this procedure when the fault light is on:
The following table lists battery temperature faults and actions you can take to clear these fault
conditions. All other fault codes require you to remove the battery from service. For more
information on these fault codes, see the Propaq MD Service Manual.
Press and hold down the Display button for at least
15 seconds.
If the battery does not detect any battery faults, all of the
LEDs will light for 10 seconds.
The Fault LED will blink to indicate the code that identifies
the battery fault (there will be a brief delay before the LED
blinks).
The fault codes number from 1 to 29. To indicate fault code
1, the Fault LED blinks once. To indicate fault code 2, the
LED blinks twice, and so on.
If the battery detects multiple battery faults, it displays the
first fault code, pauses briefly, and then displays the next
fault code, and so on.
Fault ID Fault Type Recommended Action
13 Battery Over Temperature
During Charge.
The battery is at or above its
maximum temperature for
charging (140°F/60°C).
