Most important characteristics:

• Extra or replacement battery for the GCE Zen-O portable oxygen concentrator
• Runtime up to 4 hours on pulse flow and 1.75 hours on 1 LPM continuous flow

Tip: Are you going to travel by plane? Then it is recommended – or even required – to bring with you one or more extra batteries on board.

The Zen-O Portable Oxygen Concentrator can always be used when directly connected to a power source. However, to enhance its portability, the concentrator is equipped with a rechargeable lithium-ion internal battery. Two batteries can be placed in the concentrator battery slots or one battery can be placed in either slot.

To maximise battery life and run time, avoid letting the battery deplete and use while connected to a power source whenever possible. The internal battery will automatically charge whenever the concentrator is connected to a power source. You can use the device while the battery is charging. The LCD display will indicate whether the device is operating on battery or external AC power.

The fully charged battery will retain some level of charge for up to thirty days in this device when not in use. Remove battery if this device is not going to be used for more than seven days. Store battery in a cool, dry place.
