摘要 |
In accordance with the present invention, an electrotherapy device (12) includes a controller (44), an energy source (42), at least one electrode (46) for providing electrotherapy to a patient (48), an energy delivery system (49) operable by the controller to deliver an electrical shock from the energy source (42) to the electrode (46), and a removable battery pack (10) that serves as the energy source (42). The removable battery pack (10) includes a housing having a user accessible interior and an exterior configured to be removably insertable into a battery receptacle (20) of the electrotherapy device (12). The battery pack (10) also includes at least one user replaceable, non-rechargable cell (18) located in the interior of the housing. The cell (18) has a positive and negative terminal. A pair of conductive contacts is located in the interior of the housing. One of the conductive contacts is coupled to the positive terminal of the cell (18) and the other conductive contact is coupled to the negative terminal of the cell (18). A battery pack circuit (8) located in the interior of the housing is in electrically operative communication with the cell (18).
