What Types of Medical Device Batteries Are There?

There are many different types of medical device batteries, here are some common types of medical device batteries:

1. Alkaline Batteries: Alkaline batteries are one of the most common types of batteries and are usually used in medical instruments with lower power requirements, such as thermometers and glucometers.

2. Nickel-metal hydride batteries: Nickel-metal hydride batteries are superior to alkaline batteries in terms of capacity and life span, and are usually used in medical devices with higher power requirements, such as electronic blood pressure monitors, ventilators, and so on.

3. Lead-acid batteries: Lead-acid batteries are a kind of high-capacity batteries, which are often used as backup power or continuous power supply for medical instruments, such as electric wheelchairs and scalpels.

4. Lithium batteries: Lithium batteries have the advantages of high energy density, long life and light weight, etc. They are usually used in medical equipment that requires large capacity and high power output, such as cardiac defibrillators and extracorporeal circulation machines.

5. Silver oxide battery: Silver oxide battery is a high-performance battery type with advantages of long life, high energy density and high power output, which is usually used in medical devices with high requirements for battery life and stability, such as external circulators, electrocardiographs and so on.

The above are common types of medical device batteries, different types of batteries have different advantages and disadvantages and scope of application, the choice needs to be based on the specific needs of medical equipment. Meanwhile, it should be noted that when using and handling medical device batteries, relevant laws, regulations and rules should be observed to ensure safety and environmental protection.
