Oximeter Battery Selection Guide

Oximeter battery type

There are two main types of batteries for oximeters:

1. AA OR AAA battery

This type of battery is one of the commonly used battery types for oximeters, and it is usually opened or replaced by the battery cover or battery compartment cover. AA or AAA batteries have a wide range of applications and are relatively easy to purchase, with many brands and models available on the market.

2. Lithium batteries

These batteries are often used in more complex oximetry devices, such as portable oximeters. While maintaining the same power output, lithium batteries are smaller in size and weight, making them ideal for devices that need to be lightweight. Also, lithium batteries have a longer lifespan because they have a higher voltage than AA or AAA batteries.

How to choose the right battery?

There are several factors to consider when choosing an oximeter battery:

1. Battery size

Battery size is based on the design of the oximeter, so you need to choose the right battery according to the battery specification requirements of the oximeter device. If an inappropriate battery size is selected it will result in the oximeter not working properly.

2. Power Requirement

The amount of power required by the oximeter depends on the frequency and duration of use of the device. When selecting a battery for the first time, use a battery that meets the electrical requirements and has a long enough life.

3. Battery life

The battery life provided by different battery types varies. Therefore, if you need to use your oximeter for a period of time, you need to choose a battery type that has a longer battery life.

In conclusion, it is very important that you choose the right battery when you need to use your oximeter. It is also important to note that when installing the battery, you need to follow the procedure in the oximeter's manual to ensure that you install the battery correctly.
