Vocera Batteries

As part of our commitment for continual product improvement, Vocera recently introduced the B3000 Series Badge battery as a replacement for the B3000 Standard and B3000 extended batteries that were initially introduced with the Vocera B3000 Badge.

B-Series Batteries

With the introduction of the new B3000 series battery, the following are the significant improvements:

Increased mechanical strength in the battery casing to provide greater resilience to drops and damage.
Improved latch and locating pin design to provide more resilience.
Increased resistance to dust and water ingress (IP54).
Greater resistance to cleaning agents commonly found in healthcare.
An ability to track discharge and recharge cycles, in conjunction with firmware update to better measure when a battery is in need of replacement.
Unique identification of batteries through a serial number.

The new B3000 series battery is fully compatible with both B3000 and B3000n Badges. These areas of improvement are in addition to the existing attention paid to electrical safety standards which deliver high immunity to Electro Static Discharge. These are all unique features to the batteries manufactured for Vocera B3000 Series Badges.

For seamless introduction of the new B3000 series battery, the new battery is fully compatible with all B3000 Desktop and 8-bay chargers, including the operation of the battery health indicators in these chargers.

Note: Vocera is the sole manufacturer of batteries that are designed specifically for, and in conjunction with the B3000 and B3000n Vocera Badges. Vocera has no partnership with any third-party vendors.

Vocera customers are encouraged not to use third-party batteries that have not been tested and designed specifically to be used with the Vocera Badge.

Minibadge Batteries

The Vocera C1000 Minibadge uses custom lithium polymer batteries. These small, lightweight batteries snap into the back of the Minibadge. Vocera batteries are recommended to be charged in a Vocera eight-bay Battery Charger. The eight-bay charger is suited for group use as it can simultaneously charge eight batteries using only one power adaptor.

Note: Vocera highly recommends using the Vocera C1000 Minibadge batteries and chargers. The Vocera Minibadge warranty does not cover damage caused by third-party batteries, and the use of a third-party battery may void the Vocera warranty. When to Charge
