Introduction

Aeroqual handheld monitors are shipped with a lithium (Li) battery installed but disconnected (unplugged).

Note: Older models may have a nickel metal hydride (NiMH) battery. Batteries are not cross-compatible (you can’t use a lithium battery in a monitor that currently has a nickel battery). The easiest way to tell is by the color of the battery back. Lithium batteries are blue and nickel batteries are green.
