Defibrillators are designed to be low maintenance. We recommend that someone check the defibrillator once a week to ensure it hasn't been used and is in good working condition with sufficient pad and battery life, but they don't require any ongoing maintenance. If you are budgeting ahead then it's worth knowing that the pads and battery will need to be replaced every five years and this will cost approximately £250. And pads will need to be replaced if they are used to treat a cardiac arrest.
