Battery Specification
Battery
The Vscan Air CL probe is powered by a Li ION battery. The battery is not fully charged prior to shipment. To maximize time of use, it is recommended to recharge the battery before use for at least 1.5 hours. Establish a routine for charging the battery to maximize device availability.
The battery will be charged when charging the Vscan Air CL probe as described in the section Charging the battery
Battery Level Indicator
The Vscan Air CL battery level is indicated via the probe LEDs if pressing and releasing the probe ON/OFF button for less than 1 second when the probe is OFF.
The following colors are displayed:
- Orange/Red toned yellow: Charge level is less than 8%, and probe will need to charge above this level to be powered ON.
- Yellow: Charge level in the range 8-90%.
- Green: Charge level 90-100%.

| Charging time starting at 10%, charging to 90% capacity using a new battery at room temperature 20 to 25 deg. C | 75 minutes |
| Capacity | 50 minutes continuous scan (see Note) |
| Lifetime | At least 500 charges |
In order to get maximum charging capacity with your Vscan Air CL battery, you should initially allow the battery to be fully charged and then fully discharged at least three times. Perform normal operation during these cycles. Once the initial charging/ discharging cycles are performed, the following is applicable without reducing the lifetime of the battery:
- It is not necessary to completely discharge the battery before re-charging.
- It is possible to stop charging the battery before it is fully charged, but the battery will then be discharged more rapidly.
- It is possible to charge the battery several times each day, if needed.
To minimize battery performance degradation, avoid prolonged storage of the Vscan Air CL probe outside the specified temperature range.
Batteries generally degrade by aging and number of recharging cycles, and will have reduced capacity over time.
The 50 minutes continuous scanning time is valid for a fully charged new battery using 80% B-mode and 20% color during scanning. Scanning is taking place at normal room temperature (22°C) and the factory default for the curved array Abdominal preset is utilized.
