Payment FAQs

  • What payment methods are accepted?

    We accept PayPal, credit cards, bank transfers, Google Pay, and Apple Pay on medicalbatterydirect.com. Please allow 3–5 business days for the clearance of bank transfers or other pending payments.

  • Do I need a PayPal account to pay?

    No, PayPal is just one of our available payment options. You can also pay directly using your credit card (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, or JCB), or through Google Pay or Apple Pay — all without needing a PayPal account.

  • Is PayPal secure?

    Yes — PayPal is generally considered very secure for online payments. Here’s why:
    1. Data encryption: PayPal encrypts your financial and personal information so merchants never see your card or bank details.
    2. Two-factor authentication (2FA): You can enable 2FA for an extra layer of protection when signing in.
    3. Fraud detection: PayPal uses real-time monitoring to flag suspicious transactions and unauthorized access attempts.
    4. Purchase protection: If you don’t receive an item or it’s significantly different from the description, PayPal may reimburse you.
    5. No need to share card details: When you pay via PayPal, only PayPal handles your sensitive data — not the seller.
  • Why was my credit card payment declined?

    All payment processing is handled by an independent, secure payment processor. medicalbatterydirect.com does not provide any payment information. Check the following information and contact your credit card issuer if the problem persists:
    1. Incorrect billing information
    2. Insufficient funds
    3. The card has been reported lost or stolen
    4. The card has expired
    5. The card has not been activated
    6. The card cannot be used to pay for goods/services in a situation where the cardholder is not present (online/internet)
    7. 3-D Secure (MasterCard SecureCode and Verified by Visa) has not been activated
    8. Credit limit has been reached
  • Why is my payment status still “pending”?

    PayPal is reviewing the payment for security
    1. Sometimes, PayPal temporarily holds a transaction if it’s unusual (new seller, high amount, cross-border, or first-time payment).
    2. You’ll see “Pending – Payment Review.”
    3. This usually clears within 24–72 hours.

    Just wait for the review to finish — PayPal will email you once it’s cleared or refunded.

Medical Batteries FAQS

  • What is a Defibrillator?

    A defibrillator is a life-saving medical device used to restore a normal heartbeat when a person experiences sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) — a condition where the heart stops beating effectively.

    It works by delivering a controlled electric shock to the heart through electrodes or pads placed on the patient’s chest. This shock helps the heart’s electrical system “reset,” allowing it to resume a normal rhythm.

  • What is an AED?

    AED stands for Automated External Defibrillator.

    It is a portable, life-saving device designed to help people experiencing sudden cardiac arrest (SCA).

    The AED analyzes the heart’s rhythm and, if necessary, delivers an electric shock (defibrillation) to restore a normal heartbeat. Modern AEDs provide voice and visual instructions, so even non-medical users can operate them safely and effectively.

  • How to check this battery is compatible with my medical device?

    1. Check the model number: Find your device’s model number (usually printed on the back or bottom of the unit, or near the battery compartment).
    2. Compare specifications: Make sure the battery model number, voltage, and connector type match the original battery or the one listed in your device manual.
    3. Use our Battery Finder Enter your device brand and model on our Battery Finder page to quickly locate the correct replacement.
    4. Still not sure: Contact our support team with your device model and a photo of the original battery label, and we’ll help confirm compatibility before you order.
  • How long does a medical battery usually last?

    Once installed in a device, a typical battery will last 2–5 years depending on:
    1. Usage frequency (devices used more often drain faster)
    2. Device type (AEDs, monitors, or infusion pumps each have different power demands)
    3. Environmental factors (high temperature and humidity can shorten lifespan)
  • Why is battery readiness critical in emergency care?

    In emergency care, every second counts. Many life-saving devices — such as AEDs, patient monitors, and ventilators — rely entirely on battery power to start and operate instantly. If a battery is weak, discharged, or unstable, the device may fail when it’s needed most.

  • Tips for Using and Maintaining Medical Batteries

    1. Follow the device manual: Always read both the device and battery manuals to ensure the voltage, connector, and model are fully compatible.
    2. Avoid deep discharge: Replace or recharge the battery promptly when the low-battery warning appears to prevent capacity loss.
    3. Use within proper environmental conditions: Operate within the recommended temperature and humidity range; avoid heat, moisture, or direct sunlight.
    4. Regular inspection and testing Test the charge level and performance every 3–6 months, especially for standby batteries.
    5. Store partially charged: For long-term storage, keep batteries at about 40–60% charge to maintain optimal health.
    6. Keep away from metal and moisture: Store in a dry, well-ventilated area away from metallic objects to prevent short circuits.
    7. Avoid frequent removal or impact: Dropping or repeatedly removing the battery can damage connectors or cause internal faults.
  • Do I need a professional to install the battery?

    In most cases, professional installation is not required

    Our medical batteries are designed with original-spec dimensions, voltage, and connectors, making them fully compatible with your device.

    You can replace the battery yourself by following the instructions in the device manual — no special tools or expertise needed.

  • Are your medical batteries fully certified?

    Yes. Our medical batteries are fully certified to meet international safety and quality standards.

    All our medical batteries are designed and manufactured to medical-grade standards, and undergo rigorous testing to ensure performance, safety, and full device compatibility.

    They have obtained or comply with the following certifications:
    1. UN38.3
    2. CE / UKCA
    3. RoHS
    4. MSDS & IEC62133
    5. ISO 9001 / ISO 13485
  • What is the difference with the original batteries?

    1. Same performance and compatibility: Our replacement batteries are identical in performance, safety, and compatibility to the original ones. Each model is built to OEM specifications, ensuring perfect fit and function — no modifications required.
    2. Built with the same-grade cells and protection systems: We use premium lithium cells and advanced protection circuits (against overcharge, overdischarge, overcurrent, and short circuit), providing stable and safe performance over time.
    3. The only difference: better value: The only difference is the price — our products offer the same original-level reliability without the brand premium, delivering excellent value for professional and institutional buyers.
    4. Quality Assurance: All medical batteries are UN38.3, CE, RoHS, IEC62133, and ISO13485 certified, and come with a 12-month warranty for your peace of mind.
  • Can I use a battery with a higher capacity than the original one?

    In most cases, yes.

    If the voltage, current, connector, and size match the original battery exactly, it is safe and compatible to use a higher-capacity replacement.

    A higher capacity (mAh or Wh) simply means longer runtime or standby time under the same conditions — it will not harm your device.
