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
