Maintenance
Cleaning

Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your ARYA Q battery, consider the following common solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Battery not charging. | Incorrect connection, faulty charger/cable, battery too hot/cold, or battery fault. | Ensure all connections are secure. Try a different outlet or charging method. Allow battery to reach room temperature. If issues persist, contact support. |
| Battery not powering concentrator. | Battery not fully inserted, battery depleted, or concentrator issue. | Re-insert battery firmly. Check battery charge level. Try powering the concentrator with AC power directly to rule out a concentrator issue. |
| Short battery life. | High flow setting, battery age, or improper charging/storage. | Lower concentrator flow setting if possible. Ensure proper charging and storage practices. Consider replacing the battery if it's old. |
