Medical device replacement batteries can be a huge expense for patients and healthcare companies alike. Batteries that are poorly maintained often burn out before their expected lifespan, which can lead to excessive warranty claims and service calls for companies that are in charge of maintaining these devices. The good news is that there are several ways to make replacement batteries work for, instead of against you.
Choose Low Maintenance Medical Device Replacements
Whether you’re leasing medical devices or selling them outright, the fact of the matter is that the patient may not be able to properly maintain a battery, especially if it means removing the battery from a scooter or other device to clean it and service it. By choosing gel or AGM type lead acid batteries, you can prevent your batteries from running dry since the battery is completely sealed. This greatly simplifies maintenance.
Choose Longer Life Batteries
Even under the best conditions, all batteries have a lifespan. If you’ve been using batteries with a limited lifespan to get by, you could be replacing those batteries more often than you have to. This is especially true if your device uses more than one battery. By replacing your batteries with longer life options, you can reduce the number of service calls or replacements needed overall, while saving your money. The cost may be higher upfront, but it almost always offers a cost savings on the back end.
