New Original REF 0146-00-0097 Battery for MAQUET CARDIOSAVE Hybrid / Datascope – Life‑Critical Power for Your Cardiac Assist Device
Exact replacement for MAQUET / Datascope part number: REF 0146-00-0097. Works with CARDIOSAVE Hybrid, CARDIOSAVE, and other Datascope IABP systems.
In a cardiac catheterization lab, ICU, or operating room, the MAQUET CARDIOSAVE Hybrid is more than a machine. It’s a lifeline. It helps patients with weak hearts. It stabilizes them until they can recover or have a final procedure. When that device’s battery starts to fail, you don’t have a backup plan. You have a crisis.
The REF 0146-00-0097 is the factory‑spec battery for the CARDIOSAVE platform. When new, it offers hours of backup power. This helps you get around the hospital. You can switch departments or handle power outages during emergencies. After a couple of years of regular use and recharging, capacity fades. You might see “low battery” warnings earlier, or the system refuses to run on battery for more than a few minutes.
You don’t need to pay MAQUET’s premium price ($500+). You can't trust a $100 generic. It might cause error codes, swell, or even fail during transport. This new REF 0146-00-0097 battery matches the OEM's medical-grade reliability. Plus, it costs less.

OEM vs. New Original vs. Cheap Generic – What’s the Real Difference?
Not every battery that physically fits your CARDIOSAVE is safe for cardiac support. Here’s how the three options compare.
| Factor | OEM (MAQUET) | Our New Original (REF 0146-00-0097) | Cheap Generic |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cell Quality | Original medical‑grade high‑rate cells | Same OEM‑grade cells | Unknown, often low‑grade or recycled |
| True Capacity | Full original spec | Same as OEM | Often 20–30% less (overstated) |
| Discharge Rate | Supports IABP peak loads (balloon inflation) | Same – stable voltage | Voltage sags → device errors or shutdown |
| Protection Circuit | Full PCM with redundant safety | Full PCM | Minimal – risk of swelling or fire |
| Device Communication | Accurate fuel gauge, no error codes | Accurate – no “battery error” | May show wrong % or “battery not recognized” |
| Physical Fit | Perfect | Perfect, same mold | Loose or too tight; poor contact |
| Charging Behavior | Works with CARDIOSAVE charger | Works perfectly | May overheat, charge slowly, or stop early |
| Longevity | 500+ cycles | 500+ cycles | Often fails within 6–12 months |
| Compliance | IEC 60601‑1, CE, UL | Same certifications | None or falsified |
| Price | $520–650 | $410–500 | $80–120 |
| Warranty | 1 year | 12 months | 30 days or none |
Critical for perfusionists, biomed engineers, and cath lab staff
The CARDIOSAVE is a life‑support device. A cheap generic battery can cause error codes, fail to charge, or even damage the IABP’s power board – potentially putting a patient at risk. Our new original battery meets the same safety and performance standards as the MAQUET original – without the inflated OEM markup.
3 Signs Your CARDIOSAVE Needs a New REF 0146-00-0097 Battery
-
Reduced runtime – The device used to last through a typical transport (e.g., 90–120 minutes). Now you see “low battery” warnings after only 30–45 minutes.
-
Error messages – The CARDIOSAVE displays “battery error,” “low battery,” or “replace battery” even after a full charge cycle.
-
Physical swelling – The battery pack looks puffy, doesn’t slide in smoothly, or the case bulges. Replace immediately – a swollen lithium‑ion battery is a fire risk and can damage the IABP.
If your CARDIOSAVE battery is more than 2–3 years old or showing any of these signs, replace it now. Your patients depend on reliable backup power.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Will this battery work with my MAQUET CARDIOSAVE Hybrid or Datascope CARDIOSAVE?
Yes. REF 0146-00-0097 is the official battery for these systems. Check your current battery label – if it matches, this is the direct replacement. Some Datascope models use the same part.
Q: How do I replace the battery? Is it user‑serviceable?
Replacement should be performed by qualified biomedical engineering staff. The battery compartment is typically accessible with a latch or a few screws. Follow your CARDIOSAVE service manual. We provide installation instructions, but we strongly recommend professional replacement to ensure proper handling and safety.
Q: How long does a full charge last after replacement?
Consult your CARDIOSAVE user manual for expected runtime. A new genuine battery restores original backup time – typically 90–120 minutes of continuous operation (depending on balloon inflation rate, display brightness, and other factors).
Q: Can I charge this battery in the original CARDIOSAVE docking station or charger?
Yes. It is fully compatible with MAQUET’s charging systems. No modifications needed.
Q: Is this battery safe for air transport (e.g., for hospital helicopters or fixed‑wing patient transport)?
Yes. It meets UN38.3 transportation safety standards. For medical use, always follow your hospital’s policies and aviation regulations for carrying spare lithium batteries in life‑support equipment.
Q: What if my CARDIOSAVE shows a battery error after installation?
First, ensure the battery is fully seated and the connector is secure. Charge the device for at least 2 hours. If the error persists, try a hard reset (refer to your IABP’s technical manual). If none works, contact us for a replacement under warranty.
Q: Do you offer discounts for hospitals or biomedical departments buying multiple batteries?
Yes. For orders of 5+ batteries, contact us for a quote. We work with biomed departments, group purchasing organizations, and hospital supply chains.

🔋 Lithium-Ion Battery Conditioning
For optimal electrochemical performance, new lithium-ion batteries should undergo 2–3 complete charge and discharge cycles before reaching full capacity.
This stabilization phase allows the internal cell chemistry to achieve balanced ion distribution, ensuring maximum runtime, stable voltage output, and extended cycle life.
After this initial conditioning period, no further full discharge cycles are required.
