I am relatively new to hearing aids. It seems that the default primary
cell is a zinc-air cell. Output is at1.4 or 1.45 volts. The size
designatgion is 312.
My hearing aids came with rechargeable cells. I am not sure what the
specs for these secondary cells are difficult to find. My guess is that
they are NiMH cell with a nominal output of 1.2 volts. I am not all that
familiar with such cells. Ahain, I am guessing that these secondary cell
when fully charged measure 1.3 to 1.35 volts before settling to a lower
voltage. Does anyone have enough knowledge or experience to let me know
just what is used for secondary cells.
The charger charges these cell inductively. That is, there is no
electrical connection from the charger to the cell. The coupling is
magnetic to the hearing aid assembly itself. Any rectification is in the
hearing aid itself.

should be clearly specified in the booklet.
If not, the manufacturer can provide this. If you bought internet
generic hearing aids throw them away.

asked for information from a knowledgeable source. The information you
get is to use a rechargeable hearing aid battery size 312. For anything
else, see your hearing aid provider.
