Reliable AED Batteries & Pads: Your Complete Maintenance Kit
Keeping your AED fully functional isn’t just about owning it; it’s about ensuring it works when seconds count. That’s why our AED Maintenance Kit bundle puts together essential consumables, batteries, adult and paediatric pads, and compliant signage so you never have to worry. Everything is available through Defib Supplies, the UK’s trusted source for rescue-ready equipment.
Why You Should Invest in an AED Maintenance Kit
Prevent Device Failures in Critical Moments
Battery life and pad integrity aren’t just specs; they’re lifelines. Even unused AEDs can degrade over time. Here are lifespan expectations based on trusted sources:
- Batteries: Typically 2–5 years, depending on model
- Pads: About 18–30 months, due to drying gel
Our kit ensures your device is always ready and supports compliance with CQC, PUWER, and MHRA maintenance expectations. Read more in our Defibrillator Maintenance Guide.
Warranty‑Safe and Traceable
All parts are sourced through Defib Supplies, so you’re assured of OEM standards, consistent compatibility, and traceable purchase history critical for inspections and insurance compliance.
What’s Included and Why It Matters

- High‑quality adult & paediatric pads for all patient needs
