LIFEPAK 500 AED Replacement Battery

Full Product Info

Features and Specifications:

• Volts: 12 Volt
• Amps: 7.5 Amp-hours
• Weight: 0.5 kg (1.2lb)
• Typical Capacity: 312 full discharges with a new battery, or 14 hours of "ON" time
• Minimum: 230 full discharges with a new battery
• Shelf Life: 5 years, stored at proper temperatures
• Recommended Replacement Interval: Three years (3) depending upon usage
• Low Battery Indicator: At least 11 discharges remaining with the non-rechargeable lithium battery pak
• Self Testing:
  • The non-rechargeable lithium battery pak requires less maintenance than the rechargeable SLA battery pak since it never requires charging
  • With the lithium battery pak installed, the LIFEPAK 500 A.E.D. automatically tests it as part of the Daily Auto test
  • The A.E.D. also performs the battery test during each charge/discharge cycle and the first time the A.E.D. is turned on after a new battery had been installed
• Shelf Life:
  • A new Lithium Battery Pak has a shelf life of 5 years stored at the proper temperature
  • Although a lithium battery may be stored for up to 5 years, it self-discharges over time
  • When the battery is eventually placed in the A.E.D., its useful life will be reduced depending on how long it "sat on the shelf"
• Useful Life and Expected Capacity:
  • When optimally maintained, a new lithium battery pak has a capacity of 7.5 Amp hours, which is equivalent to 312 discharges or 14 hours of "ON" time
  • It is important to know that just turning the A.E.D. on ("ON TIME") uses up battery capacity
  • Each year, battery capacity decreases while the battery is in the A.E.D., because of the battery's normal self-discharge rate and the energy used by the A.E.D. auto tests (for example, after 4 years with no patient use of the A.E.D., approximately 35% of the useful life of the lithium battery pak remains, about 4.9 hours of "ON" time or 109 discharges)
  • Any patient use of the A.E.D., "ON" time, and shocks, will reduce the battery's useful life further
• Proper Maintenance:
  • Do not attempt to recharge, as attempting to recharge a LIFEPAK 500 non-rechargeable lithium battery pak can cause an explosion or fire
  • Lithium battery paks cannot be connected to the battery charger used to recharge the rechargeable SLA battery paks
  • Do not use beyond the expiration date marked on the battery label
  • Do not expose to temperatures greater than 50° Celsius (122°F)
  • Do not allow electrical connection between the battery contacts, as electrical connection between the battery contacts can blow an internal fuse and permanently disable the battery
• Check Battery Level:
  • To check the battery level, turn on the A.E.D. for at least 10 seconds and look for the "BATTERY" status message during the self test
  • If there is no message, turn off the A.E.D. for at least one minute and then turn it on again
  • The battery status message should display following the self test
  • Do not check the status of two lithium or three SLA battery paks within a 15 minute period
  • The A.E.D. may not accommodate more frequent battery checks
• Disposal of Lithium Battery Paks:
  • Before disposing of lithium battery paks, make sure they are fully discharged
  • See the Battery User Guide for specific details on how to discharge a lithium battery pak
  • After fully discharging a lithium battery pak, dispose of the battery pak
  • In the U.S.A., the E.P.A. and the D.O.T. allow disposal of lithium battery paks with ordinary household waste provided they are fully discharged
