Application	replacement battery for StyleView Carts with LiFe Power

The Ergotron 97-618 is a replacement battery for medical devices, specifically designed for use in StyleView Carts with LiFe Power systems. It is a Lithium-Iron-Phosphate battery (LiFePO4) with a nominal capacity of 40 Ah and an operating voltage of 12 V DC. This battery serves as a replacement for worn-out or defective batteries and ensures continuous power supply for mobile medical devices that rely on a stable and reliable energy source.

Applications

The battery is primarily intended for medical trolleys (StyleView Carts) equipped with LiFe Power systems. These systems support the power supply for mobile devices such as monitors, infusion pumps, defibrillators, or other medical equipment used in hospital operations or clinics. The use of LiFePO4 technology offers high safety and longevity, which is crucial in medical applications.

Features and Equipment in Detail

The battery has a capacity of 40 Ah, equivalent to an energy output of 480 Wh at 12 V. This capacity allows for sufficient operating time for medical devices without requiring frequent recharging. The use of Lithium-Iron-Phosphate (LiFePO4) chemistry provides higher thermal stability compared to other lithium types, increasing safety during operation. The battery is designed for use in medical devices requiring continuous and reliable power supply.

Technology Explained Simply

LiFePO4 batteries are characterised by longer lifespan and higher safety. Compared to conventional lithium-ion batteries, they have a lower tendency to overheat or become thermally unstable, making them especially suitable for medical applications. The voltage of 12 V DC is a standard voltage for many mobile medical systems and allows direct integration into existing devices. The capacity of 40 Ah means the battery provides constant power output over an extended period, which is essential for the operational safety of medical devices.

Compatibility and Accessories

The battery is specifically designed for StyleView Carts with LiFe Power systems. It is intended as a replacement battery and replaces existing LiFePO4 batteries that lose capacity over time or become defective. Compatibility is limited to Ergotron StyleView series devices equipped with LiFe Power systems.

Installation and Mounting

Installation is performed by replacing the existing battery in the StyleView Cart. The battery is inserted into the designated compartment and connected to the system via the integrated plug-in connection. No additional tools or special installation instructions are required, as the battery fits directly into the existing system. The connection is made via standardised connectors designed for LiFe Power systems.

Operational Advantages

Using the Ergotron 97-618 provides reliable and safe power supply for medical devices. The LiFePO4 technology ensures longer lifespan and higher safety compared to other lithium types. The battery is designed for use in medical environments where continuous power supply and high safety standards are required. The capacity of 40 Ah enables sufficient operating time without the need for frequent recharging.
