Bistos BT-303S AED Battery is a crucial component of your AED that must be kept fresh. As with all battery-powered electronics, as the AED battery ages, its ability to power the AED declines. This can result in a non-functional AED in an emergency. Remember, when deciding whether or not to replace your AED battery, an install date is not the same as an expiration date. Be sure to pay attention to when your AED battery expires and have it changed before then. The life of a battery can vary depending on the manufacturer; most will need to be replaced every 2 – 5 years. It’s critical to know if your AED battery replacement date is approaching so you can have a new battery before it expires. A study published by the Annals of Emergency Medicine in 2011 found that almost one in four AED failures was due to faulty batteries, which resulted in 1150 deaths over a 15-year period.
