Once the External Battery is connected to the Astral device, the
DC mains indicator on user interface will illuminate.
Accessing battery information via the Astral user interface
Information on system and battery charge levels can be
accessed in one of two ways.
1. Battery indicator
The capacity of the External Battery will be added to the
Run Time indicator on the Information bar of the Astral user
interface (this may take a couple of minutes). The total will be
the sum of the Astral internal battery plus either one or two
external batteries.
Note: Under normal operating conditions, the ventilator will
display total system:
• State of charge as a percentage when in ventilation standby
mode or connected to mains power.
• Estimated remaining run time while delivering therapy.
2. Battery information
The battery information can be accessed from the Battery
sub-menu on the Information page of the Astral user
interface. This menu has two tabs:
Charge – displays the current charge level (0-100%) for any
batteries currently detected by the system, as well as the
total system charge.
Maintenance – displays the full charge capacity and the
charge cycle count for any batteries currently detected by the
system.
Regularly check the charge level of the external battery. It is
recommended to replace the battery at 400 charge cycles.
Refer to the Astral User Guide for further information.
Charging the External Battery
The External Battery is supplied partially charged.
Ensure the External Battery is fully charged before using it to
power the Astral device. The External Battery can be used and
recharged while connected to the Astral device (refer to the
Using and recharging the External Battery section in this guide).
Charging takes less than 6 hours from 0% battery capacity to
greater than 95%.
