CALIBRATING MEDICAL SYSTEM BACKUP BATTERIES

A system for calibrating medical system backup batteries includes a processing device and a memory storage device. The memory storage device includes instructions executable by the processor to receive a shutdown request to shut down a medical system having a backup battery. Additionally, the instructions are executable by the processor to determine, in response to receiving the shutdown request, that the backup battery is due for calibration based on a current date and a calibration due date. Further, the instructions are executable by the processor to provide a request for a fuel gauge board of a power management board for the medical system to perform a discharge of the backup battery.
