Replacement batteries for 9 FDA-approved AEDs.

Every AED runs on a sealed lithium battery. When the battery dies, the device stops self-testing and becomes silently non-functional. An estimated 1 in 7 deployed AEDs fail because of a dead or expired battery (Journal of the American Heart Association, 2021). Verify your battery install date monthly.

  • ⏰ When to Replace

A dead battery = a silent AED failure.

1 in 7 deployed AEDs fail because of a dead or expired battery (JAHA 2021). AEDs self-test daily and signal battery status with a green checkmark or red X. If your device shows red — replace the battery today. If green — check the install date. Replace before the shelf-life expiration regardless of self-test status.

01

Monthly Visual Check

Look at the AED status indicator. Green checkmark = ready. Red X or blinking = battery or pads issue. Log every check for compliance records.

02

Quarterly Battery Verification

Cross-reference install date sticker with manufacturer shelf life (4-5 years). Order replacement 3-6 months before expiration to avoid emergency premium pricing.

03

Immediate After Rescue

Replace battery + pads immediately after any rescue deployment — even if the shock was not delivered. Batteries deplete significantly during rescue activation.

04

Post-Recall Notification

Register your AED with the manufacturer so you receive direct FDA recall notifications. Gray-market batteries break the notification chain — always buy through authorized US distributors.

Check the status indicator monthly.

Green checkmark = ready. Red X or blinking = battery or pads issue — replace immediately. Even if indicator is green, replace before the manufacturer shelf-life expiration (printed on the battery).

AED Leader or Response Ready — both authorized US distributors carrying OEM batteries for every canonical FDA-approved AED.

Avoid Amazon/eBay third-party sellers. Gray-market batteries may be counterfeit, expired, or damaged — risking silent AED failure during rescue.

No. Only OEM (manufacturer-authorized) batteries are FDA-approved for use with each AED model.

Third-party or counterfeit batteries can void the manufacturer warranty, disable self-testing, and cause the AED to fail during rescue. Always match battery model number to your AED per FDA Premarket Approval (PMA) database.

Yes. Replace both battery and pads immediately after any rescue deployment.

Batteries deplete significantly during rescue activation even if no shock was delivered. Pads become non-sterile once opened. Replace both before returning the AED to service.

No. AED batteries are lithium — regulated as hazardous waste in most states.

Return expired batteries to the distributor (AED Leader offers free take-back), local hazardous waste facility, or Battery Recycling Program. Never landfill or incinerate.

No. AED batteries are lithium — regulated as hazardous waste in most states.

Register with the manufacturer using the serial number after purchase.

Philips: HeartStart Support portal. ZOLL: ZOLLmedservice.com. Stryker: MyStryker portal. Cardiac Science: cardiacscience.com. Defibtech: defibtech.com. Registration ensures direct FDA recall notifications routed to you.

Consumer AEDs use primary (non-rechargeable) lithium batteries only.

Primary lithium has longer shelf life (4-5 years standby) and lower self-discharge — critical for AEDs that sit unused for years. Rechargeable batteries lose ~1-3% charge per month even at rest, making them unsuitable for lay-rescuer AEDs.

1 spare per AED for single deployments. 20-30% spare capacity for 5+ AED fleets.

For fleet programs, use AEDTS fleet management — automates expiry tracking and prevents last-minute emergency ordering at premium pricing.
