Has anyone else experienced problems with BBraun batteries, whereby a pump can show a fully charged battery when in its docking station, but gives a battery depleted message if its removed from being charged and then the syringe drive is activated when its switched on. To me this message is misleading, in that it cannot be fully charged one minute and flat the next. I have reported this to the MHRA and to BBraun.
Anyone else seen the same thing? Did you replace the batteries?
What do others do regarding battery replacement on these pumps? BBraun dont actually give a reccomended replacement interval.
