The Defibtech Lifeline AED uses a model-specific Lithium-Manganese Dioxide battery, which is non-rechargeable and disposable (recyclable where accepted). Each new Defibtech Lifeline AED comes with a 5-year battery directly from the manufacturer, unless otherwise specified.
The standard DCF-200 battery has a shelf life of 5 years in standby mode, or it can deliver 125 shocks or 8 hours of continuous operation**, depending on usage.
Although the Defibtech Lifeline AED provides both audible and visual alerts when the battery reaches a critically low level, it is essential to conduct regular checks to ensure the battery remains within its operating capabilities. The AED battery is often the most overlooked component, and failure to replace it can result in the device being unable to function when most needed.
**Typical performance with a new battery at 25°C.
