Guest guest Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 Jeff, Best way to find out if you like them or not.. Try them. it won't " hurt " your ci, but useage time you get might not make them viable to use. give em a try and let us know how many hours you get out of them.

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 What is the different between a 675 CI battery and a 675 hearing aid battery? I giving my 675 battery to a friend who has a CI and she has giving me hers. If they are not interchangable... They seem to work okay for us? -- Rayvco Batteries Hello All: Yesterday a " Battery Fairy " dropped a pack of 12 675 batteries from Rayvco designed only for cochlear implant users. After checking out who was the " fairy " , it turned out as I work for speech and hearing center, they get free samples from time to time. So hence the got this pack and since they don't normally work with CI users, they gave to me. They said that if I like them, they could order them for me, etc. My question here...are these batteries OK for our 3-G's or they are too " weak? Please advice. Thanks!

My audi told me that I could use standard 675 HA batteries for the 3G. Do CI 675 batteries have a longer lifespan than HA 675 batteries?

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 In most cases, yes. They are higher powered. I ordered some ZeniPower batteries that arrived today from Hearing USA. These are advertised as CI batteries and I just want to try them but need to wait until my Power One's die. They've been in the processor since Monday morning. I keep waiting for them to go but they are like the bunny. They keep going and going and going. I'll let everyone know how my test of these new batteries - which are made in China BTW - handle my high power needs. These price out at .30 each. Alice > > I'd like to know this as well.

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2004 Report Share Posted October 16, 2004 , My audie told me the same thing..they are interchangeable but for some users with heavy CI use (complex mappings, lots of sound on a frequent basis, etc.) you may get a better life span with the CI batteries. However, if you're ever out of spares you can stop at any pharmacy/drugstore and get regular 675 hearing aid batteries. Otherwise, not much difference except that CI batteries are a tiny bit more expensive than regular HA batteries. The only way to know what is best for you is to give each a trial and log your hours/#batteries and compare. Gayle > What is the different between a 675 CI battery and a 675 hearing aid > battery?

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2004 Report Share Posted October 16, 2004 I checked on the price of the CI battery and the hearing aid battery , same brand high power and both are the same price. It sound like they are the same battery... I don't think they are any different.

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2004 Report Share Posted October 16, 2004 Hi Gayle, Thanks for that information. Keeping track of hours with CI batteries as opposed HA batteries is a good idea. I still have quite a few HA battery packs here at home, so I'll probably start with those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
