Tammy, 3.5 hours at full usage and no downtime is how long they generally last. This means no powersaving mode. No doubt the time could be extended but with ample plugs around the ER and surgery suites we haven't seen the need. The charge times are approximately 4-5 hours from dead battery to full charge however they rarely completely discharge. The batteries are incased in a metal box at the bottom of the cart and we have experienced no problems with leakage. The surgery carts have only been in use for approximately 1 year and the battery life remains good. Currently we use the carts in the ER and Surgery but plan to implement more when we go live with the Nursing module. However the nurses may want the lionville carts although they are much more pricey.

HTML will be converted to attachments. The meditech-l web site is MTUsers.com ====================================== Hi Steve, What is the battery charging time and usage time for this wireless cart? What about the battery life (one year or greater)? I have inquired about this cart for our region. I did have concerns regarding the battery location at the bottom of the cart and the chance of exposure to fluids in the Operating Room environment. Are these battery units sealed? What departments in your facility are using these wireless carts? Thank you.

The SL-TQ1 is designed for a desktop with flat panel and full size keyboard. Has 2 lockable drawers and a small workspace but takes up no more room than the carts that take laptops. We fitted them with the ultra small form factor Dell opitplexes and a flat panel monitor. The desktops generally cost less, last longer and the users prefer them.
