Matching AED pads and batteries
Practical product checks from Birchward Medical.
Start with the device model
Find the manufacturer and full model number on your AED. Use those details to check the replacement part; a shared brand name alone does not establish compatibility.
Match pads and batteries separately
Check the supported AED models and the manufacturer’s part number for each item. Confirm whether the listing is for pads, a battery, a combined pack or a training accessory.
Check intended use and expiry
Confirm the intended patient group and whether the item is for rescue or training. Review expiry and storage information shown for the product and follow manufacturer guidance.
Review storage and maintenance
For cabinets and cases, compare internal dimensions and the stated environment of use. Follow the AED manufacturer’s inspection and replacement instructions.
