Mediana A16 Defibrillator Battery

Key features of the Mediana A16 battery explained

• With capacity for at least 200 shocks at full power, this battery won't let you down in the middle of a rescue. Even if you're monitoring someone for hours while waiting for paramedics, you've got over 6 hours of continuous operation.
• Five years of standby life isn't just a number; it's five years where you don't need to worry about whether your defibrillator will work. That's five years of protection for your staff, students, gym members, or community.
• The battery works with your defibrillator's indicator system to warn you well in advance. When you see that warning, you've still got at least 9 shocks left, plenty of time to get a replacement sorted.
• The lithium manganese dioxide chemistry might sound technical, but what matters is this: it's stable, reliable, and works across a wide range of temperatures. Whether your defibrillator lives in a heated office or a cooler storage cupboard, this battery performs consistently.

Technical Specifications of the Mediana A16 Battery

Battery Warnings:

Your defibrillator will show one bar when you've got fewer than 9 shocks remaining. A blank indicator means replace immediately.

Mediana A16 Example: Community Spaces and Public Access Points

Village halls, churches, and community centres, if your defibrillator is managed by volunteers, straightforward maintenance matters. This battery's clear indicators and long life mean less fuss and more confidence. When Derek does his monthly check before the parish council meeting, he can see at a glance whether everything's fine or whether it's time to order a replacement.

When Should You Replace Your Battery?

Your Mediana A16 constantly monitors itself and lets you know how the battery's doing. Here's how to read the signals:

• Monthly checks: Glance at your defibrillator's battery indicator. Takes five seconds. Green and full? You're sorted. Starting to show less? Make a note.
• One bar showing: You've got at least 9 shocks left, which sounds like plenty, but this is your cue to order a replacement. Don't wait until it's blank.
• Blank indicator: Replace immediately. This is the "get a new battery fitted today" warning.
• The five-year mark approaching: Some organisations replace batteries proactively before the standby life expires, especially if they're in high-risk locations or if procurement takes ages to approve purchases. Perfectly sensible approach.

Replacing the Battery Is Simple

The battery compartment opens easily, the battery slots in one way, and your defibrillator immediately recognises it and updates the indicator. The whole job takes about 30 seconds.

Once it's in, your AED runs its self-checks automatically and confirms everything's working. Then you're back to full readiness.

What about the old battery?Don't just bin it. Lithium batteries need proper disposal; most recycling centres take them, as do many battery retailers. Some councils collect them separately. Never put them in the general waste.

Compliance and insurance.Some workplace safety audits specifically check for spare consumables for critical equipment. If you're in a high-risk environment or somewhere remote, auditors and insurers like seeing that spare battery on the shelf.

The battery has a 2-year shelf life in unopened packaging, so you've got plenty of time to rotate it into service before it expires.
