The reported complaint was confirmed.During laboratory analysis, the product surveillance technician (pst) confirmed the issue.After charging, both batteries remained out of specification for conductance.One battery measured 12.8 volts direct current (vdc) upon receipt, with a conductance measurement of 93 siemens (s), the minimum requirement for conductance on this type of battery is 200s.The second battery measured 12.5 vdc with a conductance measurement of 107s, out of specification.The batteries were installed into a lab use only (luo) heart lung machine (hlm) battery module and allowed to charge for 24 hours.Measurements after charging were 13.0 vdc / 137s and 13.0 vdc / 116s (both failing conductance).If additional information becomes available on this complaint that would alter the facts and/or conclusion, a supplemental report will be filed accordingly.
