Product Description
DR203 SMBus Smart Battery for GE Patient Monitoring Equipment
The DR203 is an 11.1V 2600mAh Lithium-Ion SMBus smart battery designed as a direct replacement for GE Healthcare patient monitoring and transport equipment. Designed in the USA and built with high-performance cells, it ships fully tested, programmed, and calibrated — ready for immediate installation without additional bench setup.
Compatible GE Healthcare Equipment
The DR203 is a direct replacement for the following GE Healthcare platforms:
- GE Solar 8000i patient monitor
- GE Mini Dash PDM
- GE Protransport Series transport monitors
It replaces OEM part numbers 2016989-002 and 2031069-003 via the original 5-position 146845-1 connector interface. Also cross-referenced as SM203.
SMBus Smart Battery Functionality
The DR203 uses a Texas Instruments BQ40Z50 SMBus chipset, providing the full smart battery communication required by GE patient monitoring equipment. This includes accurate state-of-charge reporting, cycle count tracking, and state-of-health data — all critical for clinical equipment maintenance programs and regulatory compliance. An integrated LED fuel gauge indicator provides at-a-glance charge status without powering on the host device.
Safety and Construction
The DR203 incorporates primary and secondary circuit protection for defense against overcharge, over-discharge, over-current, and short circuit conditions. The housing is injection-molded UL94-rated ABS plastic with sonic weld construction — the same standard used in OEM medical battery packs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What GE equipment is the DR203 compatible with?
The DR203 is compatible with the GE Solar 8000i patient monitor, GE Mini Dash PDM, and GE Protransport Series transport monitors. It replaces OEM part numbers 2016989-002 and 2031069-003.
Does the DR203 require programming or calibration before use?
No. The DR203 ships fully tested, programmed, and calibrated. It is ready for immediate installation without additional bench programming or calibration by biomedical staff.
Is the DR203 a true SMBus smart battery?
Yes. The DR203 uses a Texas Instruments BQ40Z50 SMBus chipset and communicates full smart battery data to the host device, including state of charge, cycle count, and state of health — consistent with the SBS (Smart Battery Specification) standard used by GE patient monitoring equipment.
What does the LED fuel gauge indicator do?
The integrated LED fuel gauge allows clinical and biomedical staff to check the battery's charge status visually without inserting it into the host device. This is particularly useful for pre-deployment checks and inventory management of spare battery packs.
What safety protections does this battery include?
The DR203 includes both primary and secondary circuit protection, guarding against overcharge, over-discharge, over-current, and short circuit conditions. The housing is UL94-rated ABS plastic with sonic weld construction.
What is the warranty on the DR203?
The DR203 carries a 12-month warranty.
What part numbers does the DR203 replace?
The DR203 replaces GE OEM part numbers 2016989-002 and 2031069-003, as well as the cross-reference designation SM203.
