Product Description
Your HeartStart FR3 AED is only as dependable as the battery powering it. When it's time to replace, you deserve an option that doesn't force you to choose between affordability and reliability — especially for a device that could save a life.
The FR3-ABE from AED Battery Exchange is the trusted solution. AED Battery Exchange is the only non-OEM manufacturer in the U.S. with FDA approval to produce AED batteries, a distinction earned through rigorous testing and oversight at their FDA-registered facility in Wauconda, Illinois.
Why This Battery Earns Your Trust
Not all replacement AED batteries are created equal. The FR3-ABE is built using OEM battery housings, gold-plated contacts, and cells sourced from the same manufacturers that supply Philips. That means you're not compromising on materials — you're simply cutting out the brand premium.
With over a decade of manufacturing expertise, AED Battery Exchange produces every battery under FDA oversight. This isn't a generic aftermarket part. It's a precision-engineered replacement made specifically for the Philips HeartStart FR3.
Performance When It Counts
- Supports up to 300 defibrillation shocks or 12 hours of continuous patient monitoring
- 5-year estimated shelf life — stock a spare and it'll be ready when you need it
- Operates in temperatures from 32°F to 122°F
- Fully compatible with the FR3's automatic daily self-test diagnostics
Backed by a 4-Year Warranty and Indemnification
The FR3-ABE is covered by a 4-year warranty against material and workmanship defects. AED Battery Exchange also provides formal indemnification protection: if a claim arises specifically from a battery malfunction, they stand behind their product and defend authorized users. That kind of accountability is rare in the replacement battery space.
Real Savings, Zero Sacrifice
OEM Philips FR3 batteries regularly retail for well over $300. This replacement delivers the same performance at 30–60% less, with FDA approval and a 4-year warranty. For schools, businesses, or organizations managing multiple AED units, those savings add up fast.
When your HeartStart FR3 needs a new battery, don't settle for an overpriced original or a risky unknown brand. Order the FR3-ABE today and keep your AED ready.
Important: This battery contains primary lithium cells and is classified as a Class 9 HAZMAT item. It can only be shipped via ground transportation — expedited delivery is not available. Please plan your order accordingly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this battery compatible with all Philips HeartStart AED models?
A: This battery is designed exclusively for the Philips HeartStart FR3 (models 861388 and 861389) and directly replaces Philips part number 989803150161. It is not compatible with other Philips AED models such as the HeartStart FRx or HeartStart OnSite. If you're unsure of your model, check the label on the device before ordering.
Why can't this battery ship with expedited delivery?
A: This battery contains primary lithium cells, which are classified as Class 9 HAZMAT under federal transportation regulations. It cannot be transported by air — including UPS 2nd Day, Next Day, or similar services. Ground shipping is the only available option. We recommend ordering ahead of your scheduled replacement date to account for ground transit time.
How is this different from a generic aftermarket AED battery?
A: AED Battery Exchange holds the only FDA approval granted to a non-OEM AED battery manufacturer in the U.S. The FR3-ABE uses original Philips battery housings, gold-plated contacts, and cells from the same suppliers used by Philips — all produced in an FDA-registered facility in Wauconda, IL. It also carries a 4-year warranty with formal indemnification protection, which most off-brand alternatives do not offer.
How will I know when my FR3 battery needs to be replaced?
A: The Philips HeartStart FR3 runs automatic daily self-tests and will alert you with audio and visual indicators when the battery is running low. For best preparedness, track your battery's installation date and follow the replacement schedule in your FR3 user manual. Keeping a spare on hand is also a smart practice — this battery has a 5-year estimated shelf life when stored properly.
