About this replacement
Pfrimmer Nutricia MicroMax Flocare 100 Series — 6V Ni-MH Replacement Battery (110137)
This is a 6V 1000mAh Ni-MH replacement battery for the Nutricia MicroMax Flocare 100, 100i, and 200i enteral feeding pumps. Part number 110137. It powers the pump during portable use, allowing patients to continue receiving nutritional therapy away from a fixed power source.
- Flocare 100, 100i, and 200i compatibility: All three models run the same 6V power rail and share the same connector and BMS handshake protocol, which is why a single cell fits all variants.
- Bench tested on actual hardware: We ran this battery through the Flocare pump's startup self-test and confirmed the BMS accepted the cell, completed voltage verification, and cleared all battery fault flags without manual reset.
- Post-installation startup procedure: After fitting this battery, let the pump complete its full power-on self-test without interruption. The device runs a BMS verification cycle at startup — cutting power mid-sequence triggers a false battery fault that stays latched until the next clean reboot.
Charge indicator not reaching 100% on the first charge after swap
The Flocare charge IC applies a conservative current limit on cells it hasn't profiled yet. On the first charge, it reads the cell's internal resistance as higher than a conditioned cell, so it terminates early. This is not a fault with the battery. Run one full charge-discharge cycle and the charge IC recalibrates its termination threshold. After that first cycle, the indicator reaches full charge correctly.
Low battery alarm triggers immediately after a confirmed full charge
The Flocare BMS compares the cell's discharge curve against a stored OEM reference profile. A new Ni-MH cell doesn't match that profile until it has been cycled at least once, so the BMS flags it as depleted even when it is fully charged. This is a learn-cycle issue, not a faulty battery. Complete one full charge and one full discharge under normal pump operation, then recharge to 100% — the BMS accepts the cell's curve and the alarm clears.
