HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted November 28, 2020 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted November 28, 2020 @MED-EL Moderator If we attach the mini battery pack to a Rondo 3 processor that still has a charged internal battery, will the Rondo 3 use the power from the mini battery pack or keep using its internal power? I am wondering if on a long listening day that exceeds the number of hours of the internal battery, we could choose to use the mini battery pack in the morning even though the internal battery is charged so that later we can remove the MBP and use the internal battery well into the long listening day.

MED-EL Moderator Posted December 1, 2020 Report Share Posted December 1, 2020 Hi @Mary Beth, I've now heard back from our product experts. Yes, you are right, using the mini battery pack in the morning to extend battery life would work. As soon as RONDO 3 is connected to the mini battery pack, the audio processor uses the mini battery pack's battery, no matter how much the internal battery is charged Hope that answers your question!

Best, Verena is it same with Rondo 2 as i have never use battery pack before, it will be good option for me in travelling. However I wish Rondo 3 with battery pack would have re-charged the internal battery or extend the internal battery life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted December 7, 2020 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted December 7, 2020 @Salik Rondo 3 has a different cable that plugs into your own power pack. It runs the Rondo 3 and also recharges its battery. I am just not sure if I want to carry around 2 power packs and cables or if I want to carry around 2 MBP and cables. In all honesty, I wish the Rondo 3 had a longer internal battery life. Salik and Glenn 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
