In Australia, 25,000 people per year suffer from sudden cardiac arrest somewhere other than a hospital. When this happens, those victims rely on first responders or bystanders to use nearby AEDs in their resuscitation efforts. Each component of automated external defibrillators is critical, but some of the most important – and often overlooked – consumables are defibrillator batteries.
No matter which AED defibrillator you own, the device itself will outlast its battery pack. That’s why having a backup AED battery is so important. If you know your battery is nearing the end of its life (or warranty), it’s a good idea to purchase a replacement battery pack so your defibrillator is ready when you need it most.
At Medshop, we value your satisfaction, and that means ensuring you have access to replacements for your AED consumables. In addition to batteries, we carry defibrillator pads and electrodes so that your first aid kits can stay properly stocked at all times.
Some AEDs offer rechargeable batteries, while others require a full replacement. If you’re not sure which battery your defibrillator needs, please contact our sales team at sales@medshop.com.au. We will be happy to help.
