A defibrillator battery includes at least one battery cell, a housing surrounding the at least one battery cell, and a memory connected to the at least one battery cell. The memory can be positioned inside of the housing that surrounds the at least one battery cell. The defibrillator battery can be used with a defibrillator including a battery status indicator which communicates with the defibrillator battery to indicate the status of the defibrillator battery. In a method of determining defibrillator battery status using the defibrillator battery and associated battery status indicator enables an operator to always determine the remaining charge of the battery and to determine when to replace the battery. The defibrillator battery, and associated battery status indicator, insures constant readiness of an automated external defibrillator for defibrillating a patient by preventing defibrillator failure due to an unknown reduced battery charge.
