This thing is a dinosaur, but before we trash it has anyone seen this:
We put a set of fully charged batteries in it, battery one discharges until it dies and the unit does not switch over to battery two. When we pull out one, the unit switches to battery 2. The weird thing is, if you put one back in after all this, it tries to run off one for a minute and it switches to two. Is this normal?

Ok...for whatever reason, the equipment type doesn't show up?? I'm asking about the LifePak 12. Has anybody seen what I am describing?

Hello Craig, is it the equipment I just tagged to the left of your question? If so, I suggest checking some of those manuals, or checking with one of the companies below:

Unfortunately, Alex, the service manual does not cover this at all. Are there any Biomeds that have noticed this?

Sounds like the power supply, or the battery pcb. We have both and can replace them at ReNew Biomedical. 844-425-0987 ask for Neil

I have always observed that a LifePak 12 on a base charger and using the larger SLA batteries does charge one battery and use one battery at a time. I would suspect that the batteries still have much useable capacity when the discharge battery alert comes up there for the battery charger base may stay on battery one. Question: Does" battery one discharges until it dies" mean that you are delivering shocke into a load until the monitor goes off completely?
