    Lithium BATTERY SHELF LIFE The Responder AED batteries have a shelf-life of five years. Shelf-life is defined as the length of time a battery can be stored, prior to installation into AED, without degrading its performance. Note: Storing the battery outside its specific range (0-50°C) will decrease battery life.
  • Page 19 The exposed side of the battery should be flush with the outside of the AED case. 3. For the Responder AED, open the lid for 5 seconds to initiate self-test. If the battery is installed properly, the STATUS INDICATOR will turn GREEN. Close the lid.
