| Issue: | A functional battery installed in the PB980 ventilator automatically recharges when the battery depletes and the ventilator is connected to AC power. In the case of a battery with incorrect firmware, it may fail to fully charge. This situation does not impact the ventilator's operation when it is connected to AC power. However, if the ventilator is operated on battery power alone, this situation could limit the amount of time the ventilator is operational. |
