Guest guest Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 I had to purchase a package at the pharmacy one day when I had completely forgotten to replace my battery stash in my purse. I was so relieved to discover they were compatible. They didn't last as long but they were better than silence! From: <rclark0276@...> Subject: Re: Batteries for CI?

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Ok, I ordered the CI batteries. And they are on its way. In the meantime, if I were to put the hearing aids batteries (i.e. supposedly the CI batteries don't arrive in time), how long should I expect the hearing aids batteries to last in my CI? Can I at least get about a few days worth of wearing them in my CI? Thanks!

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Only one way to find out, Dan. Try it. Many batteries made for hearing aids dont have enough power for the CI. The worst that can happen is they die a quick death. *---* *---* *---* *---* *---* Quote machine out of service until further notice. & Dreamer (Guide Dawggie) rclark0276@...

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 Dan, I have used regular 675 hearing aid batteries in my CI in a bind and they lasted 4 days. It really depends on your CI program as to how long the batteries would last. Betty In a message dated 3/4/2009 2:11:29 P.M.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 Dan, I have never seen the p675 on shelf's at the pharmacy I go to, just the regular 675. Suggest you ask your local pharmacy if they have the p675. Betty In a message dated 3/7/2009 3:34:12 P.M.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 Dan, You can purchase size 675 batteries at WalMart, Walgreen's, any other drug store, many grocery stores that have pharmacies with them, and hearing aid dispensers. So if you forget your batteries, you're never far from a place to get more. And they will run the Cochlear Implant processors, but not as long as the batteries from Cochlear do. Processors are a high power draw, so you're better off buying the ones that are designed to be used to implants. If you wear a hearing aid that uses 675 size batteries, you can run them off in a hearing aid. There will still be power left in the battery after it is no longer powerful enough to run the processor. I look for toys and such that use that size battery. Of course if you are using the rechargeables and forget to take a spare with you, you had better remember to take the battery cage for the disposable batteries. Which is why I only use disposables. Just toss a 6 pack in my purse and I'm good. Later, Betty, I also heard that one could purchase p675 batteries at a pharmacy? Is that the case?
