Own two a9’s and I just received my c5 today. I wanted to know if there’s any users out there running their device 24 hours daily. How long have they been doing this.
My a9’s aren’t able to do this after a day or two.
I’m hoping the c5 can.
Any tips on maximizing the life on this device?
thanks
12-18h max operating time no problem. Issue may be the intensity. Higher intensities (13-15) stress the electronics and raise temperature. Capacitors and the like are, like most things in the world, things that degrade over time/usage.
Also I would not use ICES/PEMF in general not 24h/day on a single spot. As an alternative you may use 2 * C5 
We had C5 running Omni 8 intensity 9 for 24h/day for approx 2 years as a mat for our pup. Never had an issue. Just make sure the coils are plugged in firmly.
thanks hcf. Im following your advice and running it on 7 for about sixteen a day. Will adjust w more experience.
what do you mean by 2*c5 as an alternative to 24h a day spot treatment? 2 devices prevent the need to run the device all day? sorry just want to clarify
This was meant more as a joke then serious It meant using 2 piece c5 after each other in tandem. But @TajD comment should have made clear that 24h operation is not issue - even over years. But I would not overdo the intensity when doing that.
LOL. I thought you were serious and was so confused by your recommendation. Appreciate the advice. ICES has been helping me alot and I want to make sure I take care of my device properly.
thanks hcf for chiming in
