DWhite Posted November 6, 2023 Report Share Posted November 6, 2023 Hi! I recently transitioned from Rondo 1 to Rondo 3 and am considering buying the mini battery pack cable as a back-up power source. I can't find a good description of this product on Med-El's website (perhaps I missed it?)...can someone tell me whether this battery pack also allows you to connect to your laptop for a direct audio connection? I could do that with the Rondo 1 battery pack, but can't tell if the Rondo 3 version has the same feature. Would be great if it does since I take a lot of Zoom calls and this would be a great back-up to my audiolink as well. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren Posted November 6, 2023 Report Share Posted November 6, 2023 Hello - information can be found in the US Med-El Webshop: I have only Sonnet 2 and Rondo 3 but can confirm it works with those processors. I am not sure if this is the same one you have used with Rondo 1 as the description mentions only Rondo (with no 1, 2, or 3 after). Med-El Webshop uses your same MyMedel login information and can be accessed directly via web or through your MyMedel portal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted November 7, 2023 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted November 7, 2023 @DWhite looks like the same mini battery pack with a Rondo 3 mbp cable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWhite Posted November 7, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2023 Thanks @Lauren and @Mary Beth! This is helpful, especially the video! Mary Beth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Canada Posted November 7, 2023 Report Share Posted November 7, 2023 @DWhite I don't think it has an audio port. I use the other Medel cable for charging my Rondo3 when away from home. It has a USB connector and uses any USB adapter or battery pack. Here is a picture of it plugged into my processor and a battery pack. The cable does not come with a battery pack and retails through the Medel store for $125 CAD. I can use the Rondo3 while it is charging.

HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted November 7, 2023 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted November 7, 2023 @Anthony Canada There is a separate mini battery pack cable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Canada Posted November 7, 2023 Report Share Posted November 7, 2023 @Mary Beth that is my point. You can get a charging cable that works with any USB device for less than half the price as the mini battery pack that uses a specialized plug in.

HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted November 7, 2023 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted November 7, 2023 @Anthony Canada The mini battery pack has plug in connections to attach a Med-El cable for headphone jacks and for Europlug (3 prong jack) receivers for the Roger System. It is not the best option just for powering up the Rondo 3 but for those who are looking for ways to connect with headphone jacks or a europlug Roger receiver, it is an option.

Anthony Canada Posted November 7, 2023 Report Share Posted November 7, 2023 @Mary Beth I didn't realize it had an audio out jack that is a very useful feature. Thank you for pointing it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
