DEFIBTECH Lifeline 7 year battery pack is a set of two batteries designed for the Defibtech Lifeline defibrillator: a main battery and an auxiliary battery that supports the device's self-tests. The main battery is a lithium manganese primary cell with a 7-year service life.
The main battery allows up to 300 defibrillations or 16 hours of continuous operation during a rescue. The degree to which it is used up also depends on the self-tests the defibrillator carries out. The auxiliary battery is a standard 9V battery with a service life of about 1 year from installation.
The pack contains both batteries: the 7-year main battery and the 9V battery. It is useful wherever a Lifeline defibrillator must be kept ready for use, for example in companies, public offices and schools. DEFIBTECH Lifeline 7 year battery pack includes the main battery and the 9V battery that supports the device's self-tests.
Why does the DEFIBTECH Lifeline 7 year battery pack contain two batteries?
Each battery has a different job. The main one powers the defibrillator during a rescue, that is, it enables shocks and continuous operation, while the auxiliary 9V battery supports the device's self-tests. DEFIBTECH Lifeline 7 year battery pack provides up to 300 defibrillations or 16 hours of continuous operation.
The 9V battery is not required for operation: the defibrillator can work without it, but the status indicator then stops functioning. Installing both batteries therefore lets you use the status indicator. You can find other devices in the AED defibrillators.
Battery replacement and rules for using an AED defibrillator
The battery is replaced by sliding it into the battery compartment. The figure of 300 defibrillations is a maximum, and the wear on the main battery also depends on self-tests, so do not judge its condition solely by the number of shocks delivered.
The defibrillator itself is used to help in sudden cardiac arrest. First make sure the scene is safe, call for help on 999 or 112 and use the device in accordance with its instructions. You can read more about this in the article Chapter VIII – Automated external defibrillator (AED).
Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
How many defibrillations does the main battery last for?

Does the defibrillator work without the 9V battery?
The device can operate without the auxiliary battery installed, but the status indicator will not function then.
How do I replace the battery in a Lifeline defibrillator?
The battery is quick to replace: simply slide it into the battery compartment.
