An automated external defibrillator (AED) is a medical device used to send an electric shock to the heart after cardiac arrest. A key component of the AED is the power source, or battery. Batteries used in AEDs need to have a good charge-to-weight ratio; they must be safe and reliable as well as rechargeable.Two types of rechargeable batteries used in early models of AEDs are the lead storage (also called lead-acid) battery and the nickel-cadmium (NiCd) battery. These batteries consist of multiple electrochemical cells that are connected in series to deliver a potential between 9 V and 18 V. A capacitor allows the AED to accumulate charge so that it can deliver between 300 V and 1,000 V.Some AEDs use a sealed lead storage battery. Lead storage batteries are robust and hold a charge for a long time. However, they have a low energy-to-weight ratio. Each lead storage cell delivers approximately 2.0 V, and a battery of four cells weighing 1000 g can provide 30 W∙h of energy.
Figure 1 Electron flow in a lead storage battery when discharging and chargingThe half reactions for the anode and cathode of a lead storage battery in 4 M of sulfuric acid (H2SO4) are shown in Reactions 1 and 2:
Reaction 1
Reaction 2
NiCd batteries have a higher energy-to-weight ratio than lead storage batteries but cannot hold as much charge. Each NiCd cell delivers approximately 1.3 V, and a single-cell battery weighing 120 g can provide 7.2 W∙h of energy.The half reactions at the anode and cathode for a NiCd battery in KOH are shown in Reactions 3 and 4:
Reaction 3
Reaction 4
