Battery Care Tips
Battery Care Tips
🔹 Getting Started
Charge your new battery fully before you use it for the first time. Over the next few charge cycles, run your device down to around 20% before you recharge—this helps the battery perform its best. After that, charge whenever you need to.
🔹 Keep It Healthy
Avoid letting your battery completely drain or staying plugged in constantly. Both extremes wear it out faster. Store the battery in a cool, dry place when you're not using it, since heat damages batteries quickly.
Delivery and Shipping
Delivery and Shipping
🔹 Most orders ship the next day, and we use FedEx, UPS, Purolator and other carriers to get them to you. Lithium batteries have to ship by ground only, not air or USPS. Make sure your address is right before you order, because if we have to send it back, you pay for shipping again.

Covidien N550 / N560 — 9.6V Ni-MH Replacement Battery (069308)
This is a 9.6V Ni-MH replacement battery for the Covidien N550 and N560 portable patient monitoring devices. It carries a capacity of 3800mAh (36.48Wh) and matches OEM part number 069308. The battery restores power to units where the original cell has degraded beyond the device's BMS acceptance threshold.
- N550 and N560 platform compatibility: Both models share the same 9.6V battery rail, connector housing, and BMS handshake protocol, which is why a single cell fits either unit without modification.
- Bench tested on actual hardware: We cycled this cell through charge and discharge on a clinical monitoring test rig. The BMS completed its self-test sequence without triggering a fault flag, and the cell held voltage within spec through full load cycles.
- Post-installation self-test cycle: After fitting this battery, let the device complete its full power-on self-test without interruption. The N550 and N560 run a BMS verification routine at startup — cutting power during this sequence causes a false battery fault that persists until the next clean reboot.
Why the N550 reports a battery fault on a brand-new cell
The N550 BMS stores chemistry calibration data from the original cell. A fresh Ni-MH replacement starts with no charge history, so the BMS may flag it as non-conforming on the first boot. This is a learn-cycle issue, not a defective cell. Running one full charge-discharge cycle gives the BMS enough data to accept the new cell. After that first cycle, the fault flag clears and the device behaves normally.
Charge indicator stalls below 100% on first charge
Ni-MH cells ship in a partially discharged state, and the N550 charge IC applies a conservative current limit when it cannot confirm the cell's starting capacity. This causes the charge indicator to plateau or stall before reaching full. The fix is to let the charge cycle run to natural termination without removing the device from the charger. After the first complete charge, the IC recalibrates and subsequent charges reach 100% as expected — confirm this at approximately 10.8V fully charged.

Frequently Asked Questions
My N550 is alarming low battery immediately after I took it off the charger — is the new battery faulty?
Almost certainly not. The N550 BMS is calibrated to the charge history of the original cell, and a new Ni-MH replacement has none. On first use, the device can misread state-of-charge and trigger a low battery alarm even when the cell is fully charged. Run one complete charge-discharge cycle and the BMS will recalibrate to the new cell's actual capacity. After that cycle the alarm clears and the reading stabilises.
The N560 won't power on at all after the replacement battery sat in the box for a few months before I installed it — what's wrong?
Ni-MH cells self-discharge in storage, and if the cell drops below roughly 8.5V the N560 BMS enters a protection state and refuses to boot. Connect the device to its charger and leave it for a full charge cycle before attempting to power on. The charger will apply a trickle recovery current that brings the cell back above the BMS re-initialisation threshold. Once the charge indicator shows a full charge, power the device on normally.
The N550 shuts off unexpectedly during patient monitoring in the first few days of use — is this a load issue?
Yes. Ni-MH cells deliver lower sustained voltage under load in the first 5–10 cycles before the chemistry fully conditions. The N550's load profile during active monitoring draws enough current to dip cell voltage below the BMS cutoff threshold during this break-in window. The fix is to complete several full charge-discharge cycles before relying on the unit in a clinical setting. After 10 conditioning cycles the cell voltage under load stabilises and unexpected shutoffs stop.
