The Marsden DP-3800 Battery Pack is the manufacturer-specified replacement rechargeable battery for scales fitted with the DP-3800 indicator, including the M-400 and M-410 baby scales used in neonatal units, health visitor clinics and paediatric departments. User-replaceable without tools, the DP-3800 Battery Pack returns a scale to full portable battery-powered operation immediately on fitting, eliminating the scale downtime and service call that would otherwise be required for a battery-only maintenance intervention.
Battery pack replacement does not require scale reverification, as the DP-3800 indicator's Class III and MDD Approved calibration is unaffected by the battery pack component, maintaining full clinical compliance throughout and after the replacement process.

| Compatible Indicator | Marsden DP-3800 |
| Compatible Scales | M-400, M-410 (and other DP-3800-fitted scales) |
| Battery Type | Rechargeable replacement pack |
| Fitting | User-replaceable, no tools required |
| Reverification Required | No - Class III and MDD calibration unaffected |
Battery pack replacement on a Class III and MDD Approved scale does not constitute a service intervention requiring reverification under the NAWI Directive or EU Medical Device Directive. The DP-3800 Battery Pack is the manufacturer-specified component that maintains the indicator's correct electrical operating parameters after fitting. For NHS paediatric and neonatal departments, where M-400 and M-410 scales may alternate between fixed mains-powered use in the clinic and portable battery-powered use during community home visits, timely battery pack replacement ensures the portable clinical capability remains available without an unplanned gap in community service delivery when the original battery pack reaches end of life.
Does replacing the DP-3800 battery pack affect the scale's Bluetooth or Wi-Fi connectivity settings?
No. Battery pack replacement is a hardware power component swap that does not affect the indicator's software configuration, connectivity settings or stored data. Any Bluetooth pairing, Wi-Fi network settings or stored weight data held in the indicator memory are unaffected by the battery replacement process. The scale resumes its previous connectivity configuration immediately after fitting the replacement battery pack and powering the indicator on, without requiring any connectivity reconfiguration.
Is the DP-3800 Battery Pack interchangeable with the DP-3810 Battery Pack?
No. The DP-3800 and DP-3810 are different indicator models with different battery specifications, and their battery packs are not interchangeable. Using the incorrect battery pack risks electrical incompatibility that could damage the indicator. Always confirm the indicator model on your specific scale before ordering a replacement battery pack, and use the battery pack specified for that exact indicator model. If you are uncertain which indicator your scale uses, Marsden's technical support team can confirm this from the scale's serial number.
