Battery
Your pump runs on one AA battery. Use AA alkaline batteries that have a minimum
capacity of 2500 mAh. Do not use lithium, carbon zinc, or nickel cadmium (NiCd)
batteries. If you prefer to use rechargeable batteries, use NiMH batteries that
ha
ve a minimum capacity of
1500 mAh. If you use rechargeable batteries, always
use a battery charger recommended by the battery manufacturer. Keep extra
batteries on hand.
The operating temperature of the battery must be between 41°F and 104°F
(+5°C and +40°C). The life of any battery is affected by how you use your
insulin pump, your personal settings, delivery rates, temperature and other factors.
With typical pump use [50 U/day using U100 insulin; operating temperature
72°F ± 6°F (22°C ± 3°C)], pump battery life is about four weeks using alkaline
batteries and one week using rechargeable batteries.
