Dear Ann, We have been having lots of battery issues too over the last year. We have 4 trolleys each with a Ti500 incubator on them. Between them we had 6 new batteries installed last year and currently have issues with one trolley at the moment. We keep all of our trolleys plugged into mains supply when not out in use. They are all set to 37C. When they are out in use two have the facility to be plugged directly into "mains" supply power in our ambulances. This provides both power and charge to the battery so I am told. The other two although attached to ambulance power do not charge when in the vehicles but simply provid ethe power to the incubator. After talking to one of the Medical Physics guys they think that perhaps Drager might have swappred their battery supplier - have you heard anything along these lines? We would appreciate any feedback / comments from others as to their experiences with the Ti500. best wishes, Nicky Nicky Davey Modern Matron CenTre Neonatal Transport Service Level 5, Kensington Building Leicester Royal Infirmary LE1 5WW Mobile: 07921 545421 -----Original Message----- From: FreeLists Mailing List Manager [mailto:ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: 17 May 2014 06:06 To: transportgroup digest users Subject: transportgroup Digest V5 #7 Warning: This message contains unverified links which may not be safe.
