FlexAir PAPR Storage Battery Considerations

AirBoss Defense Group (ADG) issued a user notice dated April 2023 to remind users and entities that store the FlexAir powered air-purifying respirators (PAPRs) of battery maintenance and long-term storage requirements communicated in FlexAir Powered Air Purifying Respirator User Instruction (P/N C-85090-00) provided with each unit. The instructions note that long-term storage, 6 months or greater, requires batteries be charged for forty-five minutes every six months. If battery maintenance has not been, or is not, performed, the battery’s life may be significantly reduced. Read the NIOSH respirator user notices issued by manufacturers web page.
