I got through a minimum of 5 battery switches a day, so if I try to track all this, I'd have to carry a clipboard around all the time. For me it might be better to mark them someone with a " bought on date " of some sort. The best I can do at this point is try to time them and see which one is shortest useful duration, which I hope is a good indicator. -- s Clarion-S 9/28/1999, Platinum BTE 1/10/2002 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 11, 2004 Report Share Posted January 11, 2004 Hi Jeff, I'm glad your newer batteries are giving you a longer life. I'm thinking you are just going to have to take a day that you are not working and can mark each battery with it's " life " as they lose power so that you can figure out the difference between the new ones and the old ones. It would probably be a pain the day you are doing it but should only be a one time thing. Would this help? I don't use rechargables with my 3G, as you know. I did use rechargables when I wore the Sprint and I was able to keep track of the new batteries vs. the old because I purchased a battery charger from the drug store that I used only for the new ones. The original battery charger I got when I was implanted only held two batteries. The new charger holds four. Alice N24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 Jeff, I have 2 sets of batteries...4 old, 2 new. My old batteries were marked when I bought them (some have numbers, some have stickers), and my new batteries aren't marked at all. My old batteries get 4-5 hours, my new ones get 6-7 hours. My old batteries are over 2 years old, my new ones are less than a year old. S.
