It also fits the Poet IQ2 and CO2 monitor platforms that share the same 42381B001 battery housing. Voltage and connector match the OEM specification exactly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e8500Q, Poet IQ2, and CO2 monitor compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    These three platforms share the same 12V battery rail, connector pinout, and BMS handshake protocol. One cell SKU covers all three because the charge IC on each device was specified to the same 42381B001 profile.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    We cycled this cell through the 8500Q charge circuit and confirmed the BMS accepted the new pack without triggering a fault code. The charge IC completed a full termination cycle at rated capacity before we cleared the unit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePost-swap self-test protocol:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    After installing this battery, let the 8500Q complete its full power-on self-test sequence without interruption. The device runs a BMS verification pass at startup — cutting power mid-sequence forces a false battery fault that persists until the next clean reboot.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eLow battery alarm triggering on the 8500Q with a confirmed full charge\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThe 8500Q sets its low-battery alarm threshold against internal BMS state data, not just raw voltage. A fresh Ni-MH cell hasn't built its internal resistance baseline yet, so the BMS reads the pack as below threshold even after a full charge completes. This is not a fault with the replacement cell. Run one full charge-discharge cycle on the device before using it in a clinical setting — after that cycle, the BMS recalibrates its state-of-charge model and the alarm clears.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003e8500Q not powering on after the replacement battery sat in storage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eNi-MH cells self-discharge during storage, and the 8500Q BMS has a minimum voltage floor — if the pack drops below roughly 10.5V, the BMS blocks startup entirely to protect the cell. This looks identical to a dead battery or a hardware fault, but it is neither. Place the battery on charge for a full cycle before attempting to power on the device. Once the pack climbs above the BMS recovery threshold, the 8500Q will boot normally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43381362229338,"sku":"BWCS-CTP200MD-1","price":63.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43381362262106,"sku":"BWCS-CTP200MD-2","price":75.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43381362294874,"sku":"BWCS-CTP200MD-3","price":83.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-CTP200MD-1.webp?v=1778900267","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/criticare-8500q-anesthetic-gas-monitor-replacement-battery-12v-2150mah-ni-mh","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
