Figure 2.2.2.4.1: Rechargeable Lead Acid 12V battery in [2]A lead acid battery will be used in powering the accessible infusion pump userinterface.Figure 2.2.2.4.1 displays the battery that will be used in connection toour interface circuit. Since the terminals of this battery are hooks, connection tothe circuit will require simple wiring. Considering the use of this battery within aninterface, which is connected to a continuous infusion pump; continuous useand ability to recharge is paramount (Figure 2.2.2.4.2-next page). A 12V leadacid battery (3.4 Ah) has the ability to recharge, and considering these batteriesare used in most infusion pumps, the battery will be very reliable. Since the LCDrequires 5 volts, the controller and driver at least 8 volts, and Blackfin 7 volts; a12V battery would be well enough to power all the electronic subunits.Nonetheless, the battery will be used as a backup power supply when the 120VAC outlet power is not connected, lasting for 4 hours of stand alone use.32
