How to buy the right medical battery for your medical equipment

Medical batteries are used to produce reliable performance in critical medical devices, such as defibrillators, vital sign monitors, incubators, infusion pumps and body composition analyzers. Today, hospitals also rely on implantable medical batteries for saving and sustaining lives of many patients.

The medical device that consumes the most amount of power is the heart defibrillator and a good battery is vital to provide the best possible patient care in critical cases. Most defibrillators are powered by nickel-cadmium batteries and in such cases the use of smart battery technology is recommended to indicate the state of charge of the battery.

Also, sealed lead acid (SLA) batteries are used for defibrillators that are kept in standby mode. Though SLAs are bulky they ensure a prolonged ready mode without the need for recharging with medical battery chargers. Sealed Lead Acid batteries performs well where high spurts of current are required but are not recommended for carrying sustained high load.
Lately, Lithium-ion is rapidly being adopted by the medical industry as batteries for medical devices because they are robust and economical.

The Duracell medical batteries is one of the best available in the market today because it adapts battery technology to changing requirements in the medical industry better than any other medical battery manufacturer. However, there are other brands that excel in mobility scooter batteries and replacement medical batteries.
