Why AED Batteries Matter

When it comes to Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs), having reliable and fully functional batteries is crucial. These life-saving devices are designed to deliver electric shocks to restore normal heart rhythms during cardiac emergencies. Without a properly functioning battery, an AED becomes ineffective, potentially threaten the chances of survival for someone experiencing sudden cardiac arrest.

The Basics: Types of AED Batteries

Rechargeable vs. Non-Rechargeable Batteries

AEDs typically use either rechargeable or non-rechargeable batteries. Let’s break down the differences:

Rechargeable Batteries: 

These batteries can be recharged after use, making them cost-effective in the long run. They are commonly found in AED models like the Zoll AED Plus and the Philips HeartStart series. Rechargeable batteries are ideal for institutions and organizations that use AEDs frequently.

Non-Rechargeable Batteries: 

Also known as disposable batteries, these are pre-installed and cannot be recharged. They are convenient for occasional use and are often found in AEDs meant for personal or home use.

Popular AED Brands and Their Battery Requirements

Let’s explore some well-known AED brands and their battery specifics:

  • Philips: The Philips HeartStart AEDs use lithium batteries that typically last for 3-11 uses before replacement.
  • Zoll: Zoll AEDs, including the Zoll AED Plus, rely on non-rechargeable batteries. These batteries provide 2-4 uses before replacement.
  • Cardiac Science: Cardiac Science AEDs use non-rechargeable batteries, lasting for 4-7 uses.
  • Physio-Control (Lifepak): Lifepak AEDs utilize both rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries. The Lifepak 500 model, for instance, requires a rechargeable battery that lasts for 2-4 uses.

Choosing the Right Replacement Battery

When it’s time to replace your AED battery, consider the following factors:

  • Authorized Distributors: Always purchase replacement batteries from authorized distributors to ensure authenticity and quality.
  • Compatibility: Check if the replacement battery is compatible with your specific AED model. Using an incompatible battery can compromise device performance.
  • Intellisense® Technology: Some AEDs, like those from Philips, feature Intellisense® technology, which ensures optimal battery life and performance.

 Proper Battery Maintenance

To maximize battery lifespan:

  • Regular Checks: Inspect your AED’s battery regularly. Replace it immediately if the charge level is low.
  • Storage Conditions: Store spare batteries in a cool, dry place. Extreme temperatures can affect battery performance.
  • Emergency Preparedness: Keep spare batteries readily available in case of emergencies.

How much do AED Replacement Batteries cost?

AED replacement batteries typically cost between $20 and $300, depending on the type (rechargeable or non-rechargeable) and the specific AED brand and model.
