CAIRE FreeStyle™ Comfort Portable Oxygen Concentrator Battery
The replacement battery for the FreeStyle™ Comfort Portable Oxygen Concentrator.
Having your backup battery could be essential when traveling, camping or even out on the town. Make sure you have adequate power coverage when you are out because your freedom to do what you like is the goal.
BATTERY PACK
The FreeStyle Comfort can be operated by the re-chargeable battery pack which is supplied with the device. There are no operational limitations of the concentrator when running from the battery pack. All flow rates are available on battery power.
INSTALLING THE BATTERY
Align the battery with the bottom housing from the center of the FreeStyle Comfort. Push the battery inward until you hear a click to confirm that it has locked in place.
REMOVING THE BATTERY
Push the battery release button downward away from the FreeStyle Comfort. While HOLDING this button, slide the battery out by pulling it away from the concentrator.
WARNING: THE OXYGEN CONCENTRATOR MUST BE OFF AND DISCONNECTED FROM EXTERNAL POWER BEFORE REMOVING THE BATTERY PACK.
CHECKING BATTERY PACK CHARGE
To check the battery charge when it is installed in the FreeStyle Comfort, reference the battery icon and the estimated time remaining on the display.
Note: If the battery is in the process of charging, a plug indicator will show instead of the charge percentage remaining.
To check the battery charge when it is not installed in the FreeStyle Comfort, lay it flat and press the TEST button. The battery gauge indicator lights (25-100%) will illuminate to the right of the TEST button to indicate the level of the battery pack charge.
INITIAL CHARGING
The new battery supplied with your FreeStyle Comfort is only partially charged when it is shipped from the factory. Before using for the first time, you should fully charge the battery pack using either AC or DC power.
GENERAL CHARGING INFORMATION
The FreeStyle Comfort will recharge the battery pack anytime it is installed in the concentrator and the concentrator is connected to an external AC or DC power source (except on an airplane).
Battery is fully charged when it displays 100%.
Alternately, the battery pack may be charged using the optional desktop charger.
BATTERY OPERATING DURATION
When external AC or DC power is disconnected, the concentrator will automatically switch over to using battery power if a charged battery is installed. The table below shows the typical durations for a new battery pack. Battery pack durations will remain constant regardless of your breath rate.
