The field service engineer (fsr) ordered batteries as a precaution.The fsr asked the customer to charge the batteries over night.Upon arrival to the user facility, the last measured discharge (lmd) was showing 180/10 18.0 amp hours (ah) and total nominal available capacity (tnac) was showing 18.0000.The fsr replaced the batteries, downloaded power manager and system logs and tested the system.The unit operated to the mfr's specs and was returned to clinical use.The suspect batteries we returned to the mfr for further eval.The reported complaint was duplicated during lab eval.No anomalies observed upon receipt of the batteries.The batteries measured 10.7 and 10.5 volts direct current (vdc) upon receipt (no lead), 11.4vdc is typical for a discharged battery in good condition and 13.2vdc is typical for a battery having a near full charge.No conductance readings were available due to the low battery voltage.The product surveillance tech (pst) attached the device under test (dut) batteries to the pmb platter using a lab battery cable and powered on.The batteries were allowed to charge for seven hours (recommended recharging from full depletion is 13 hours).An interim measurement of the battery voltage of 11.3 and 6.6 vdc respectively, revealed that the pair was not properly accepting charge.This corroborates the reported complaint.
