Physio-Control Battery Support System 2

Physio-Control Battery Support System 2

The Physio-Control Battery Support System 2 is an innovative charging and reconditioning platform designed to optimize the maintenance of defibrillator batteries. Capable of charging and conditioning three batteries simultaneously, it supports both Nickel Cadmium (NiCd) batteries—including Fastpak, Fastpak 2, and Life-am NiCd—and Sealed Lead Acid (SLA) batteries. The system features an enhanced NiCd pulse charging algorithm that optimizes battery performance by employing a series of charges and deep charges, thereby maximizing battery capacity and extending overall battery life. Designed for use with Lifepak 12, Lifepak 11, and Lifepak 10 transport defibrillators, this platform provides clear indications when batteries are ready for use or need to be discarded.
