Battery Sizes

Hearing Aid Batteries

Hearing Aid Battery types and use

What are the common battery sizes?
Hearing aid batteries come in 4 common sizes. They are 10 O, 13 O, 312 O and 675 O/O. To identify the size, most manufacturers use an industry standard color code on their zinc air tabs and packaging. Yellow for Size 10, Brown for Size 312, Orange for Size 13 and Blue/ Green for Size 675.

How long will my batteries last?
Battery life is determined by the type and amplification of your hearing aid as well as the hours you wear your hearing aid. Your hearing care professional can tell you the battery life you can expect.

How should I store my batteries?
You should store your hearing aid batteries at room temperature. Avoid storing your batteries in hot places since heat will shorten the life of the batteries. Refrigeration is also not recommended. Batteries should not be carried loose in your pocket or purse. If a battery inadvertently comes into contact with a metal object such as coins or keys the battery may discharge, leak or in rare incidences even rupture. To prevent this from occurring keep unused batteries in the original packaging or in a battery holder.
Batteries that have been fully discharged can be thrown in your regular trash. Store and discard batteries in places that cannot be reached by infants or children. If a battery is swallowed, see a doctor immediately.

Why is there a tab on my ZINC AIR battery?
A zinc air battery uses air outside the battery as a source of power. The factory applied tab seals the air holes in the battery and ensures freshness until you are ready to use the battery. Do not remove the tab until you are ready to use the battery. To activate the battery, you simply remove the tab. After removing the tab, wait about three to five minutes prior to inserting the battery into your hearing aid. This allows sufficient time for the air to enter and activate the ingredients. Replacing the tab when the battery is not in use will NOT extend the battery life.

Rechargeable

Rechargeable Batteries

rechargeable batterystorage batterysecondary cell, or accumulator is a type of electrical battery which can be charged, discharged into a load, and recharged many times, as opposed to a disposable or primary battery, which is supplied fully charged and discarded after use. It is composed of one or more electrochemical cells. The term "accumulator" is used as it accumulates and stores energy. through a reversible electrochemical reaction. Rechargeable batteries are produced in many different shapes and sizes, ranging from button cells to megawatt systems connected to stabilize an electrical distribution network. Several different combinations of electrode materials and electrolytes are used, including lead-acid, nickel-cadmium (NiCd), nickel-metal hydride (NiMH),  lithium-ion(Li-ion), and lithium-ion polymer (Li-ion polymer).

Rechargeable batteries typically initially cost more than disposable batteries, but have a much lower total cost of ownership and environmental impact, as they can be recharged inexpensively many times before they need replacing. Some rechargeable battery types are available in the same sizes and voltages as the disposable type and can be used interchangeably with them. For more information click on our "Rechargeable Tab" and take a look at our available and fully stock of batteries.
