Bodyguard II & Sentinel II Battery Status
Bodyguard II & Sentinel II Battery Status
As a result of a recent notification from the manufacturer of our currently approved Ultralife battery,
stating that the design has been altered; this battery now no longer conforms to the certification
required. Dräger have one new replacement battery approved however, we are also in the process of
attaining approval for a new Sentinel II BG4 battery.
The recently approved battery, Duracell Ultra Power must be used for all Bodyguard II units including
those for BG4, which will allow all remaining Dräger stock of the existing Ultralife battery to be
allocated only for use with Sentinel II for BG4. The Ultralife battery is currently the only Dräger
supplied 9V battery with MSHA approval. Until additional MSHA approval is complete, the new
Duracell Ultra Power battery cannot be used with Sentinel II BG4.
Timelines for approval of the new battery is currently anticipated to be mid 2014 although the
approval house have advised this is subject to change due to workload, R&D will continue to liaise
closely with them in order to expedite this.
