Hicksy Posted May 5, 2019 Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 Where is the option for both? That’s what I use... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted May 5, 2019 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 @Hicksy I should’ve added a both option. Unfortunately it does not let me edit the poll. Do you use one version more often than the other? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hicksy Posted May 5, 2019 Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 Overall, I probably use the rechargeables 70% of the time. Much more in the winter unless I’m travelling but once the nice weather comes and I do a lot more travelling/ outdoor activities then I switch to the disposables. Once I have started a pack, I tend to use the pack up. Also I buy the disposables in bulk and don’t fully trust the shelf life so don’t want to keep them too long😀. Btw I have settled on Power Ones Implant Plus and the ones I have now are supposed to be good till June 2021 When using the rechargeables, I have gotten into the habit of putting in a fresh one when heading out of the house, even if the one I’m using has only been in a few hours. Probably shortens the overall lifespan but then I’m not caught with a dead battery while driving or socializing. If I’m home just sitting around then I’m usually caught cursing the beeps!

HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted May 5, 2019 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 @Hicksy Yes, those beeps...sigh. We really do need rechargeable batteries that can last a long full day of listening. Since you mostly use the rechargeable batteries, enter rechargeable batteries in the above poll. Power One Implant batteries are my battery of choice too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Jewel Posted May 5, 2019 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 I use mostly rechargeables. Only use disposables when I'm travelling abroad. I stick to disposables until the pack is finished. I still have most of the packs I got in my activation kit. They expire July 2022. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mr-LJ Posted May 28, 2019 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 I had mostly been using the rechargeables (large ones) but since recently having been away camping I've switched over to the disposables. I'm a bit reluctant to switch back to the rechargeable batteries simple because it is hard to see which way round they slot into charger, what a stupid design!

HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted May 28, 2019 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 @Mr-LJ I used rechargeable Sonnet batteries for awhile. The little ridges near the bottom of the batteries are set with one edge lower than the other. I used those to help align the batteries correctly. However, I am not a fan of changing batteries throughout my day nor of carrying around fully charged batteries just to find out they had not actually charged correctly. So disposable batteries are a better fit for me. I hope Med-El introduces much longer lasting rechargeable batteries with the Sonnet 2.

I think this will definitely happen as mobile phone companies are constantly looking for more power in phone batteries and the new technolgy will pass to processor batteries.
