In hospitals and EMS environments, where the useful life of a defibrillator’s disposable battery can be consumed in a relatively short period of time, the FR2+ Rechargeable Defibrillator Battery provides a cost-effective option for frequent-use applications, such as back-to-back sudden cardiac arrest responses and monitoring patients during transport. This Philips Lithium-Ion battery fully charges in just 3 hours to provide 100 shocks or 5 hours of ECG display time. The “fuel gauge” on the FR2+ displays the battery’s remaining power.
Under normal conditions, the FR2+ Rechargeable Battery withstands 300 charge discharge cycles or about 2.5 years of use. To recharge the Philips FR2+ Rechargeable AED battery you must have a battery charger for FR2 Rechargeable Battery -Sold Separately.
