Percy Posted February 26, 2020 Report Share Posted February 26, 2020 Has anyone experienced shorter battery life using a D Lite coil vs the D coil using the standard rechargeable batteries? I have noticed a 30-60 minute difference. Just curious. Quote Link to comment https://forum.hearpeers.com/topic/5194-d-lite-coil-vs-d-coil/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted February 26, 2020 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted February 26, 2020 @Percy I had my audiologist turn off some of the unneeded DL-coil settings like -auto off -data logging -blinking lights Maybe that will help you.

Percy Posted February 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2020 @Mary Beth that sounds like a good idea, is there data logging on the D coil as well or just the D Lite coil? were u experiencing shorter battery life before those changes?

HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted February 26, 2020 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted February 26, 2020 @Percy Good question. I think the DL-coil may have additional data logging (number of times coil is not connected to internal). I was not a fan of the auto off. It would require removing the Sonnet, opening and closing the battery cover to restart...which I found inconvenient. I train each side separately at times and pop off the other coil. This would result in the DL-coil turning off. And require a restart. I also experienced times when the DL-coil greatly reduced volume all of a sudden and that would require a restart as well. Both of those reasons were frustrating. I always turn off all alert lights. I don’t need to have my processors flashing or blinking. I just keep on the lights that tell me which program I am in. The other alert lights may be helpful for parents of young CI users. Battery life in the standard rechargeable Sonnet 1 starts off lasting 10.5 hours for me but quickly reduces to under 9 hours. I sure would prefer much longer rechargeable battery life.
