Key Features
- High-Capacity Ni-MH Chemistry: 3000mAh provides extended monitoring runtime, keeping GE Eagle monitors operational during patient transport and in areas without immediate AC power.
- Zero Memory Effect: Unlike older Ni-Cd batteries, this Ni-MH battery can be partially discharged and recharged without capacity degradation — ideal for clinical environments where batteries are frequently topped up between uses.
- Precision-Molded Housing: Exact OEM dimensions (254 x 50 x 27.5mm) ensure seamless fit in GE Eagle Monitor battery compartments with secure locking mechanism.
- Long Service Life: Rated for 500+ charge/discharge cycles, delivering reliable performance across years of daily clinical use.
- Low Self-Discharge: Retains up to 85% charge after 30 days of storage, ensuring readiness for emergency deployment.
Safety Protection
- Over-Charge Protection: Automatically terminates charging when voltage exceeds safe threshold, preventing cell damage and thermal runaway.
- Over-Discharge Protection: Cuts off output when voltage drops below minimum safe level to prevent irreversible cell degradation.
- Over-Current Protection: Limits discharge current during high-load conditions to protect both battery and connected monitor.
- Short-Circuit Protection: Instantaneous circuit cutoff in the event of a short, eliminating fire and explosion risk.
- Thermal Protection: Built-in PTC thermistor continuously monitors internal temperature; suspends operation if overheating is detected.
- Cell Balancing: Individual cell voltage monitoring ensures uniform charge/discharge across all 10 Ni-MH cells, maximizing pack lifespan.

About the GE Eagle Monitor Series
The GE Eagle Monitor 3000 and 4000 are versatile multi-parameter patient monitoring systems deployed in hospitals, emergency departments, intensive care units, and ambulatory surgical centers worldwide. These monitors provide real-time tracking of vital signs including ECG, SpO₂, NIBP, temperature, and respiratory rate — making them essential tools for continuous patient surveillance. The 420315-001 Ni-MH battery serves as the primary portable power source, enabling uninterrupted monitoring during intra-hospital transport, emergency response, and in clinical areas without immediate AC power access. A reliable replacement battery is mission-critical for maintaining continuous patient safety and clinical workflow efficiency.
Installation & Maintenance
- Initial Charge: Charge the battery for 14-16 hours before first use to fully activate all 10 Ni-MH cells.
- Charging: Use only GE-approved or compatible chargers designed for 12V Ni-MH medical battery packs. Do not use lithium-ion chargers.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry environment (15-25°C / 59-77°F) away from direct sunlight. For extended storage, charge to 40-60% and recharge every 3 months.
- Cleaning: Wipe battery contacts with a dry, lint-free cloth. Never use liquid cleaners, alcohol, or solvents on battery terminals.
- Replacement Indicator: Replace when runtime drops below 70% of original capacity, or the Eagle Monitor displays persistent low-battery warnings shortly after a full charge cycle.
- Disposal: Dispose of at designated Ni-MH battery recycling facilities in accordance with local regulations. Never incinerate or dispose of in general waste.
FAQ
- Q: Is this an original GE Healthcare battery?
A: No, this is a high-quality compatible replacement manufactured to meet or exceed OEM specifications. It is not manufactured by or affiliated with GE Healthcare. - Q: Will this fit both Eagle 3000 and Eagle 4000 monitors?
A: Yes, the battery compartment is identical across both models. This replacement battery fits Eagle Monitor 3000, Eagle Monitor 4000, and Marquette Electronics Eagle 4000. - Q: How long does the battery last on a full charge?
A: Runtime depends on monitor configuration. Under typical monitoring (ECG + SpO₂ + NIBP every 15 min), expect approximately 4-6 hours of continuous portable operation. - Q: Can I charge the battery while the monitor is running on AC power?
A: Yes, the GE Eagle Monitor supports pass-through charging — the battery charges automatically while the monitor operates on AC mains power. - Q: How is this different from lithium-ion replacements?
A: Ni-MH chemistry offers superior tolerance to partial-state-of-charge cycling (common in clinical settings), zero fire/thermal runaway risk compared to Li-ion, and easier regulatory compliance for air transport. This battery matches the original OEM chemistry specification. - Q: What certifications does this battery carry?
A: CE, RoHS, UN38.3, and MSDS. Manufactured in an ISO 9001 certified facility.
