New Genuine Battery REF 1116816 for Philips SimplyGo Mini Portable Oxygen Concentrator

New Genuine Battery REF 1116816 for Philips SimplyGo Mini – Direct Replacement for Your Oxygen Concentrator

Exact replacement for Philips part number: REF 1116816. Compatible with Philips SimplyGo Mini portable oxygen concentrator. (Note: 1116816 is an equal/alternative to 1116817 – both fit the same device.)

If you use a Philips SimplyGo Mini for oxygen therapy at home or on the go, you need reliable battery power. When the original battery fades, your freedom shrinks. You’ll notice a shorter runtime, unexpected shutdowns, or trouble charging.

The SimplyGo Mini’s original battery (REF 1116816) lasts 4 to 6 hours on a full charge. This depends on the pulse setting and your breathing rate. After a couple of years of regular use, capacity drops. You might get only 2–3 hours, or the device shuts down at 30% with no warning.

You don’t need to pay Philips's premium price (often $250+). And you definitely don’t want a $60 generic that might swell, trigger error codes, or fail mid-trip. This new REF 1116816 battery provides the same medical-grade reliability as the original. Plus, it comes at a lower price.

Quick Specs – What You’re Getting

A healthy REF 1116816 battery restores your SimplyGo Mini to its original runtime – enough for a full day of errands, a cross‑country flight, or a long medical appointment.

OEM vs. Genuine Replacement vs. Cheap Generic – What’s the Real Difference?

Not every battery that fits your SimplyGo Mini is safe for medical use. Here’s how the three options compare.

 Critical for oxygen therapy users
Your SimplyGo Mini is a life‑sustaining medical device. A cheap generic battery can fail without warning – leaving you without oxygen. It may also void your device’s warranty or cause error codes that disable the concentrator. The extra $50–80 for a genuine replacement is cheap insurance for your health and peace of mind.

3 Signs Your SimplyGo Mini Needs a New Battery

1. Shortened runtime – You used to get 4–5 hours on pulse setting 2. Now you’re lucky to get 2–3 hours on a full charge.

2. Sudden shutdowns – The concentrator powers off even though the display shows 30–40% remaining.

3. Physical swelling – The battery pack looks puffy, doesn’t slide in smoothly, or the case bulges. Stop using immediately – a swollen lithium‑ion battery is a fire risk and can damage the device.

If your battery is more than 2 years old or showing any of these signs, replace it now. Your therapy isn’t something to gamble on.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Is REF 1116816 the same as 1116817? Will it work with my SimplyGo Mini?

Yes. REF 1116816 and 1116817 are interchangeable. Philips uses different numbers for the same physical battery (regional or production variants). If your SimplyGo Mini originally used 1116817, this 1116816 is a direct replacement. Always check your device manual – but in practice, both work identically.

Q: How do I replace the battery? Is it user‑replaceable?

Yes, it’s external and tool‑free. The SimplyGo Mini has a battery release latch. Slide the latch, pull the old battery out, insert the new one until it clicks. No tools needed – you can swap in seconds.

Q: How long does a full charge last after replacement?

4–6 hours depending on your pulse setting and breathing rate. Pulse setting 2 typically gives 5+ hours. Higher settings or continuous flow will reduce runtime. You’ll get back to the original runtime when the device was new.

Q: Can I carry a spare battery for extended trips?

Absolutely. Many users carry two batteries – one in the SimplyGo Mini, one charged and ready. That gives you 8–12 hours of total runtime without access to a charger.

Q: Is this battery safe for air travel?

Yes, with restrictions. At under 100Wh (likely 96Wh), it’s under the FAA limit for carry‑on luggage without special approval. Always keep spare batteries in carry‑on, never checked, and protect terminals from shorting (use original packaging or tape). Check with your airline – some may require notification or have additional rules for medical batteries.

Q: How do I charge the battery?

Use the original Philips SimplyGo Mini AC or DC charger. The battery charges in about 4–5 hours from empty to full. You can charge it while it’s in the concentrator or using an external charger (sold separately).

Q: What if my SimplyGo Mini shows a battery error after installation?

First, ensure the battery is fully seated (click). Plug in the charger and let it charge for 1 hour. If the error persists, try cleaning the battery contacts with a dry cloth. In rare cases, a device reset (refer to your manual) may be needed. If none works, contact us for a replacement under warranty.

Q: Do you offer discounts for buying two batteries?

Yes. For users who need extended runtime, we offer a two‑battery bundle. Contact us for pricing.
