Appendix A – Maintenance: Maintaining the Battery
A-12 MAC 5000 System — 2000657-057, Revision B
Periodic Maintenance
In addition to normal system use, periodic deep discharge
cycles may be required to ensure consistent battery
performance.
A deep discharge cycle occurs when the battery is
discharged until the system shuts down and the battery is
charged until it is full.
GE Medical Systems Information Technologies
recommends one deep discharge cycle once every three
months.
á GE Medical Systems Information Technologies does not
recommend over-exercising the battery with deep discharge
cycles. See the MAC 5000 Service Manual for more battery
maintenance and diagnostic information.
