It slots directly into the battery bay and powers the monitor during patient transport or when AC mains are unavailable. OEM part references include 17014, AMED2002, B11221, and OM11221.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eS5 series compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    The S5, S5CAM, and S\/5 share the same 12V battery rail, physical form factor, and BMS connector pinout. Any model in this family pulls from the same battery specification, so one cell covers the full range.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    We cycled this cell through the S5's charge IC and confirmed the BMS accepted the Ni-MH chemistry handshake. The monitor completed its power-on self-test and reported battery status correctly after a full charge cycle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePost-installation self-test procedure:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    After fitting this battery, let the S5 complete its full power-on self-test without interruption. The device runs a BMS verification sequence at startup — cutting power during this window writes a fault flag 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\"\u003eWhy the S5 flags a battery fault after the first charge on a new cell\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThe S5's charge IC applies a conservative acceptance threshold tuned to a fully conditioned OEM cell. A new Ni-MH cell arrives with an unbalanced charge state across its sub-cells, and the monitor's BMS may read this as a degraded pack. One complete charge-discharge cycle lets the cell chemistry stabilise and brings sub-cell voltage into a range the BMS recognises as healthy. Until that first cycle completes, the fault flag is expected behaviour, not a defective battery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eCharge indicator stalling below 100% on first charge\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThis happens because the S5's charge controller uses a delta-V cutoff algorithm that expects a specific voltage peak pattern from a conditioned Ni-MH pack. A new cell's voltage curve is flatter on the first charge, so the controller terminates early or holds the indicator below full. Run one full discharge — let the monitor run on battery until the low-battery alarm triggers — then recharge without interruption. After that first full cycle, the delta-V curve sharpens and the indicator reaches 100% consistently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43381505523802,"sku":"BWCS-GMS500MD-1","price":87.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43381505556570,"sku":"BWCS-GMS500MD-2","price":102.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43381505589338,"sku":"BWCS-GMS500MD-3","price":113.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-GMS500MD-1.webp?v=1778901306","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/ge-datex-ohmeda-s5-replacement-battery-12v-3800mah-ni-mh","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
