terminals 13 14 cables 15 16 and electrode pads 17 18 are shown schematically the specific configuration thereof is well known in the art of aed devices such as in u s pat nos 6 041 255 and 6 408 206 the contents of which are incorporated herein by their reference in general depending on the type voltage level and the amount of electrical power that the reserve batteries 11 can provide the power source 10 may require power regulation and capacitance storage elements hereinafter referred to collectively as u201c conditioning u201d to provide the proper voltage and current to the electrode pads 17 18 when the above is the case the power can be routed from the terminals 13 and 14 via wires not shown to the regulation and if needed capacitance storage unit 19 the cables 15 and 16 are then output from the regulation unit 19 the conditioning of the electrical power from the reserve batteries is well known in the art in the following the reserve power sources that can be used in the power source 10 of fig1 and initiation methods and devices are described reserve batteries are widely used in military applications particularly in munitions of various types reserve batteries are inactive and inert when manufactured and become active and begin to produce power only when they are activated reserve batteries are routinely designed for shelf life of 10 20 years and even longer reserve batteries are divided into the following two.
