Batteries and Chargers for Facility Devices and Equipment
Batteries and chargers power the portable devices and equipment a facility runs - alkaline and lithium primary batteries, rechargeable batteries and the chargers that service them. This category stocks batteries in standard sizes from lines such as Duracell, Energizer and Rayovac so materials management can standardize battery stock across devices, equipment and backup applications.
Battery and Charger Types Stocked
- Alkaline batteries - AA, AAA, C, D and 9V alkaline batteries for general device power in bulk and retail packs.
- Lithium primary batteries - AA, AAA and coin or button lithium cells for devices needing long shelf life and performance in cold or high-drain use.
- Rechargeable batteries - Nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) rechargeable cells in standard sizes for repeat-use devices.
- Coin and specialty cells - Lithium coin cells, hearing aid batteries and specialty cells for equipment and instruments.
- Chargers - Single- and multi-bay chargers for NiMH rechargeable cells.
Battery Type Reference
| Battery Type | Common Sizes | Typical Use |
|---|---|---|
| Alkaline | AA, AAA, C, D, 9V | General device power |
| Lithium primary | AA, AAA, coin cells | Long shelf life, high drain, cold |
| NiMH rechargeable | AA, AAA and standard sizes | Repeat-use devices |
| Coin / button | CR2032 and similar | Instruments, small electronics |
| Specialty | Hearing aid, camera cells | Equipment and instruments |
Primary Versus Rechargeable Programs
Primary batteries, alkaline and lithium, are single-use and stocked for devices where replacement is simplest, while rechargeable NiMH cells with chargers suit high-turnover devices where reuse lowers ongoing cost. Lithium primary cells hold a longer shelf life and perform in cold and high-drain use. Batteries are listed by chemistry and size so a facility can standardize stock and match the battery to the device. Shelf life and rotation matter for stored batteries, so par levels are set to turnover.
Batteries are a continuous consumable across devices, monitors, remotes and portable equipment, which makes standardized sizing and standing orders valuable for materials management. Consolidating primary, lithium and rechargeable batteries with chargers under one catalog keeps device power predictable across a facility. Order at the best Wholesale Prices with MAP Medical.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between alkaline and lithium primary batteries?
Alkaline batteries are the general-purpose single-use battery for most devices and are the lowest cost per unit. Lithium primary batteries cost more but hold a longer shelf life, weigh less, and perform better in cold temperatures and high-drain devices. Facilities stock alkaline for routine device power and lithium where shelf life, cold performance or high drain matter. Both are listed by size and chemistry.
Are rechargeable batteries and chargers available?
Yes. Nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) rechargeable cells are stocked in standard sizes along with single- and multi-bay chargers. Rechargeable programs suit high-turnover devices where reuse lowers ongoing battery cost compared with single-use cells. The catalog lists rechargeable cells and chargers together so a facility can set up a charging station for the devices that justify it.
What coin and specialty cells are stocked?
The catalog stocks lithium coin and button cells such as CR2032 for instruments and small electronics, hearing aid batteries, and specialty cells used in cameras and equipment. These are listed by cell code so a facility can match the exact cell to the device. Coin and specialty cells are stocked alongside standard AA through D sizes to cover the full device range.
Can facilities order batteries and chargers in bulk?
Yes. Alkaline, lithium, rechargeable and specialty batteries and chargers are stocked in bulk and case quantities for hospitals, long-term care facilities, clinics, plant operations and licensed distributors. Standing order programs are available for the highest-turnover sizes such as AA, AAA and 9V. Contact our procurement team for tiered pricing and standing order setup, with attention to shelf life and rotation.
What batteries should be in a facility formulary?
A standardized battery formulary, or approved product list, typically covers alkaline AA, AAA, C, D and 9V for general devices, lithium AA and AAA and CR2032 coin cells for high-drain and instrument use, NiMH rechargeable cells with chargers for repeat-use devices, and any specialty cells the equipment requires.
