Guest guest Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 Virg, Are you saying your AB only requires one 675 battery or one rechargeable battery? Just want to make sure I understand your post. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 Virg, I can’t imagine the size of the device that would take 675 batteries…it definitely wouldn’t be hanging on my ear…and could you image how long it would take to change batteries, let alone the cost!! I particularly like the choice of batteries when I travel. I don’t pack the recharger, I just grab a pack of #675 and they will last me for a good weeks trip plus away from home. A lot less hassle in the hotel room or campsite not having to recharge my batteries. Ruth From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of Virg Sent: Wednesday, May 20, 2009 3:26 PM Subject: Re: 675 batteries LOL! I was being facetious, interpreting 675 as a quantity. I understand that the cochlear only requires 3 #675 batteries. The AB Harmony only uses a rechargeable cell. 'Doesn't use primary cells at all. I imagine the choice would be handy. Virg > Virg, > > Are you saying your AB only requires one 675 battery or one rechargeable > battery? Just want to make sure I understand your post.

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 Actually my Cochlear processor requires THREE type '675' batteries. Since we don't get a rechargable battery with our implants in Australia, that means three disposable batteries every 3 days for me. :-( Does the AB processor really only require one single battery?? Or are you just being facetious (means funny, sort of).

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 Yes, just one battery, but it's a rechargeable battery of the needed voltage. I think the reason you need 3 type 675 batteries is to supply the proper voltage.

Guest guest Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 The Lithium-Ion rechargeable batteries used in all three of the major CI brands, conveniently, have the same voltage output ( 3.6-3.7) as three type 675 Zinc-Air (1.2 -1.3) wired in series, as the are in CIs Assuming your rate of usage and the cost of PowerOne CI type 675s in quantity in the land of King Obama, the cost over the estimated life of the Lithium - Ion batteries will be in the range of 1/3 that of Zinc-Airs.

Guest guest Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 You want to check up on that, . I got my Freedom BTE processor, plus a body worn controller. Plus a charger and either 2 or 4 rechargeable batteries, which I still havent used. The rechargeables wont fit my BTE controller, but they will fit the body worn controller. Also as part of my Cochlear " kit " , I got spare battery cages, ear hooks, microphone covers, spare coils, cables etc. My op was done at the Mater in Brisbane too, mine was financed by the Qld State government. I know we used the same surgeon and you went private, but I would have still thought you would have been given the same or similar " kit " of spares and other goodies, from Cochlear.
