HearPeers Heroes Sandy Posted May 28, 2016 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 This is worth a try. Next time I change my batteries, I'll experiment. Are hearing aid and the power one implant plus batteries similar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted May 28, 2016 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 Sandy, I tested this and it does give me a couple of extra hours of battery life. However, sometimes it is not convenient to set batteries out for 5 minutes. I'm not a fan of listening to the low battery beeps. Smile.

HearPeers Heroes Sandy Posted May 29, 2016 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted May 29, 2016 I'm not a fan either. It sounds like a telephone ringing with the Rondo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted May 29, 2016 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted May 29, 2016 For me, a few extra hours is not worth listening to that so I tend to swap the batteries out right away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Ivana Marinac Posted May 29, 2016 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted May 29, 2016 I don't really understand the benefit of this invention - possibly this is significant to a hearing aid user who got couple of days but implant users does not get much.

Ms_D Posted May 30, 2016 Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 I'll try this; though usually, I don't have time to wait 5 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted May 30, 2016 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 This really only works out when my batteries die while I'm at home- and only since I've been bilateral. Best case scenario, I peel the tabs- place the batteries in a safe place where the cats can not see them- take a shower and then put them in the processors.

HearPeers Heroes Kara of Canada Posted May 30, 2016 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 Well for my ha I get about 14 to 17 days. With one battery. I haven't really kept track before. Then of course the battery can fall out so that happens sometimes and I lose it. So oh well. I now bought my years supply for $20!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms_D Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 I have tried the wait 5 minutes after taking off the sticker before using the battery trick, but I don't see any improvements. With the Sonnet, the batteries tend to last 2 to 2.5 days. With the Rondo, it lasts 3 to 3.5 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Ivana Marinac Posted June 27, 2016 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 Have to eat my own words... - My using of each battery prolonged to a week, few hours more or left but I have changed 3 or 4 batteries exactly 7 days after... Before, it was always 5 days top... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Kara of Canada Posted June 27, 2016 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 Awesome Ivana!! I am interested to see how the rechargables will pan out. Ivana Marinac 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Sun Posted October 25, 2016 Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 To extend battery life, we should maintain battery. For lipo battery, over charger or discharger are bad for batteries, we should keep at least 20% power for batteries, and don't use battery in hot environments.

I use Power One (special implant P675). Perfomance are exactly 4 days. Ivana, I'm in Europe. What brand of batteries do you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Ivana Marinac Posted November 24, 2016 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 Hi Valentin, Just for the records I will rewrite it - I use Power One and Rayovac, BUT for the Bonebridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bougth Rayovac (Implant Pro). I will comment my experience in a month. Great! - For some interesting reason, I find it for a crumble better than Power One. Why, their battery power is almost at maximum up to the end of their power which is extremely good. With Power One, I hear from the start of the last day that something is wrong - voices are not so strong... Mary Beth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Adam Posted January 13, 2017 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 Well after a lot of looking, as it turns out. At least from a cost perspective, power one is much cheaper than hearing aid batteries. I still don't really see a big difference in battery life but cost savings is significant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Valentin Posted January 14, 2017 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 I left this message in other thread, but, I believe it is in same way. Updated my own experience. At this moment, I'm user since two moths. I'm user of Rondo (three Zinc Air batteries) each time. I use the the processor in similar ambient and I haven't used the Telecoil connected to external devices yet. Rayovac...... 3 days Power One...4 days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Adam Posted January 14, 2017 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 Valentin i have the sonnet processors which use two 675 batteries. Mainly use power one brand I believe. If I don't use the DAI cable or FM, I get 2 days or a little more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted January 14, 2017 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 Adam, Have you received your Sonnet rechargeable battery kits yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Adam Posted January 14, 2017 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 No Mary Beth, I am still waiting. I asked just last week if they had any idea when that might happen. They have no idea. It is based on inventory levels and who has been waiting longer than me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
