It matches OEM part numbers BAT-00068 and EE140108. Use this battery to maintain monitor operation during patient transport or when AC power is unavailable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLP15 and LP20 shared platform:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    Both monitors run the same 12V battery rail, use the same connector footprint, and communicate with the same BMS firmware. One battery services both units without modification.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    We ran the LP15 through charge and discharge on the bench. The BMS completed its initialisation handshake, the charge IC accepted the cell, and the monitor cleared its power-on self-test without faults.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePost-swap self-test protocol:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    After installing this battery, allow the monitor to complete its full power-on self-test cycle without interruption. The LP15 and LP20 run a BMS verification sequence at startup — cutting power mid-cycle flags 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\"\u003eWhy the LP15 flags a battery fault on the first charge cycle\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThe LP15's charge IC applies a conservative acceptance threshold on cells it hasn't profiled yet. A new Ni-MH cell starts with unbalanced internal resistance across sub-cells, and the BMS reads this as a marginal pack until the first full charge-discharge cycle recalibrates the resistance baseline. The fault clears on its own after that first cycle completes. Do not assume the battery is defective — run one full charge, then discharge the monitor to automatic cutoff, then recharge fully before clinical use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eCharge indicator stuck below 100% after first installation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThe LP15 and LP20 charge ICs use a peak-detection algorithm tuned to a profiled cell. On a new Ni-MH pack, the delta-V peak that signals full charge is shallower than on a cycled cell, so the indicator can stall at 80–90% and appear to stop climbing. This is a firmware-side reading issue, not a capacity problem. Let the charger run past the apparent plateau — the IC will hit the temperature or time limit and terminate correctly. After one full cycle, the indicator tracks accurately to 12V at full charge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43381359181914,"sku":"BWCS-HMP150MD-1","price":68.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43381359214682,"sku":"BWCS-HMP150MD-2","price":80.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43381359247450,"sku":"BWCS-HMP150MD-3","price":88.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-HMP150MD-1.webp?v=1778900175","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/hme-lifepulse-mon-lp15-replacement-battery-12v-2500mah-ni-mh","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
