With the popularization of AED external defibrillators, more and more people and institutions have realized the importance of purchasing AED products. The application of AED has also been shown in many news and short videos to rescue patients in critical moments.

Did you know that not only do the electrodes of an AED need to be replaced regularly, but the battery will also age like a laptop battery and gradually become unable to support the treatment function. If the battery is low, the AED may not function properly in an emergency. So be prepared to buy a spare new battery before the expiration date .

ZOLL AED battery replacement cycle

The battery of ZOLL AED is a disposable lithium battery , which ensures that AED can be used immediately at any time without waiting for charging. It is necessary to prepare a spare new battery because AED is designed to be put into use immediately at any time.

According to official battery performance tests, the ZOLL AED battery has a standby time of up to four years. Many customers have reported that in actual use, the actual battery life of the ZOLL AED is inconsistent with the official claimed time, and the actual capacity may be lower than the official claimed capacity.

Some customers complained that their ZOLL AED batteries started to run low after less than two years of use, causing the device to stop functioning properly. Fortunately, they purchased new replacement batteries in time and did not incur any losses.

Next, I will sort out some battery performance test methods. If you need, you can check the battery status of your device yourself.
