The QUANTUM Controller Battery (NAR item 35-0010) is the dedicated 44-volt lithium rechargeable power source for the QUANTUM Blood & Fluid Warming System. At 16 oz, it is the energy core that enables the QUANTUM to warm two units of refrigerated whole blood or 1,700 mL of IV fluids per charge — making it the single largest component of the 22-oz total operational system weight.

Product Overview
The QUANTUM Controller Battery is the 44V lithium power cell that drives the QUANTUM Blood & Fluid Warming System's heating elements and controller electronics. At 16 oz, it represents the bulk of the system's 22-oz total operational weight, a design trade-off that prioritizes energy density to maximize the number of blood units or volume of IV fluid that can be warmed on a single charge over minimizing absolute component weight.
Per full charge, the battery delivers sufficient energy to warm two units of 39°F refrigerated whole blood (approximately 900 mL) or 1,700 mL of 68°F IV solution to the QUANTUM's target output temperature of 100.4°F (38°C ± 2°C). Actual capacity varies with ambient temperature and the temperature of the input fluid — colder inputs require more energy to reach target output, reducing the number of units or volume that can be processed per charge. For prolonged operations involving multiple transfusions, units should carry spare batteries and rotate them through the QUANTUM Charger (35-0001).
The battery is available as a standalone replacement part (35-0010) for organizations maintaining existing QUANTUM systems. Proper battery care — charging only with the dedicated QUANTUM Charger, storage at appropriate temperatures, and timely replacement of aging batteries that no longer hold full charge — is essential to maintaining the QUANTUM system's mission-ready performance in the field.
