Do you have a C-Arm system in storage? If so, are
you planning on storing it for more than a few
weeks? If so, theres some important information
you need to know about C-Arm batteries. C-Arms
do not thrive in storage conditions. Long-term
storage can drain generator batteries or result
in dead CMOS batteries. Lets take a closer look
at both battery problems.

Drained Generator Battery The generator
batteries on C-Arms will drain and potentially
become damaged if they are left in storage or
neglected for a long time. The good news? Usually
if you charge the batteries for four hours, the
battery will recharge. However, if this does not
recharge your battery, chances are youll have to
purchase a replacement battery.

Dead CMOS Battery A CMOS battery on your C-Arm
system powers the memory that stores BIOS
settings on the computer. If your C-arm has been
dormant for a while, when you try to power it up,
the system date and time maybe be incorrect or
slow to update. If that happens, in all
likelihood the battery that is charging your CMOS
is near to or at its end of life. These
batteries are small, inexpensive and available at
electronics stores. However, the installation
process can be challenging (depending on the
model of your C-arm) and its usually best left
to a biomed or service engineer.

As with all C-arms, at some point any battery
will fail. However, you can defer the hassle of
replacing themand the cost by keeping your
C-arm plugged in if youll be using it in the
near future. It will also improve the overall
longevity of your C-arm.
