Welch Allyn Replacement (Non-OEM) NiCad Rechargeable Battery ea- #72200

Perfect replacement battery for my 30 year old otoscope

Three cheers to Welch Allen!I bought an otoscope/ophthalmoscope kit to use for physical diagnosis back when I was in medical school in the early 80's. It really hasn't seen much use since then as I never needed to carry one around in my pocket and we use slightly different models in the office, as does the hospital.Well, it's time for it to be used again. Of course the battery would not take a charge. I was thinking I'd have to buy a new kit. To my wonderment, Welch Allen still uses and sells the same battery. No planned obsolescence as with most items these days. Kudos!The battery arrived in two days. takes and holds a charge, and the kit works as it should. And I'm a happy buyer.

This is not a Welch-Allyn product as illustrated in photo. There is also no country of origin stamped on battery. Once charged, it did not appear to light my opthalmoscope as bright as I remember. For not shipping an actual Welch-Allyn battery as advertised, I rate this product one star

Prompt, item arrived in good condition

This was a replacement for a 20 yo otoscope and it works great so far. It seems to hold a charge decently, although it is on the pricey side it should last for years. Good buy. Btw this is a genuine replacement battery, not a knock off so you do not have to worry about it exploding or leaking and ruining your instrument.

I’m a retired physician but still have my ophthalmoscope. I use the scope to site down firearm barrels when cleaning….oh and occasional EENT stuff…

Aftermarket item, but woks just like the original. Would buy again. Also a great price.

The batteries aren't the same as pictures
