How to Check the Batteries in a Zoll AED

Zoll Automated External Defibrillator (AED) monitors use rechargeable lithium battery packs to power the monitor during portable use. Battery life depends on how often and how well the battery pack is recharged after each monitor use, and the monitor should be checked regularly to ensure the battery pack is functional and charged. Zoll recommends replacing battery packs after 18 months to prevent monitor failure from aged batteries. You can check the current battery power on a Zoll AED monitor in a few simple steps.
