Code Blue CB1E00498 AED Battery Charger

Overview

The CB1E00498 is a replacement battery charger built for Code Blue emergency communication and paging systems that run on 24V DC. It's the correct part when a deployed unit's stock charger fails or when you're stocking spares for a fleet of campus, parking, or industrial emergency towers — swap-in replacement rather than a full system teardown.

Compatibility

Matches Code Blue systems specified for 12-24V DC operation, including units built around Code Blue's paging amplifier platform. Because Code Blue's amplifier design shifted to this 12-24V DC input during production, confirm your unit's rated input voltage against the CB1E00498's 24V DC output before ordering — a mismatch here means a charger that either underpowers the battery or overdrives it. If you're unsure which era of amplifier your tower uses, check the part number stamped on the existing charger against CB1E00498 (or CB1E00498 written without the hyphen, CB1E00498) rather than relying on visual match alone.

Installation Notes

This is a direct component-level swap: de-energize the existing charger circuit before disconnecting leads, and confirm polarity on the 24V DC output before reconnecting to the battery bank. Don't mix charger generations within the same amplifier housing — the production-era change in this component means older and newer variants aren't guaranteed interchangeable at the connector level even when the DC voltage spec looks compatible on paper.

Stocking a CB1E00498 as a maintenance spare is worth it anywhere Code Blue towers run unattended 24/7 — a dead charger takes the whole emergency phone offline until replaced, and lead time on a special order is the wrong time to find that out. Pair it with a documented replacement-parts list for your specific Code Blue emergency phone systems deployment so field techs know which charger revision each tower needs before they roll a truck.
