Philips FRx/HS1 AED Long-Life Battery, M5070A, Defib Pads & Batteries
A disposable long-life lithium manganese dioxide battery for the Philips FRx and HS1 AEDs, with a 5 year shelf life and self-test support. This battery suits any organisation maintaining a Philips FRx or HS1 AED.
This long-life battery, item number M5070A, uses disposable lithium manganese dioxide chemistry and is compatible with the Philips FRx and HS1 range of AEDs. It has a five-year shelf life while stored unused, and a typical four-year installed life once fitted into the defibrillator, giving organisations a predictable replacement cycle to plan around rather than an uncertain lifespan.
Its role is to keep the AED in a ready to use condition at all times and to support the unit's ongoing, mission-critical self-tests, which check that the device remains fully functional between actual emergency uses. Because a defibrillator with a depleted or failed battery cannot deliver treatment when needed, keeping a spare battery stored alongside the unit is recommended, so a replacement is immediately available if a routine check ever flags a problem with the installed battery.
Organisations whose defibrillators are used frequently for training sessions are advised to purchase additional batteries, since more frequent use and self-testing will draw down the battery faster than a unit that sits untouched. This battery suits any organisation maintaining a Philips FRx or HS1 AED.
