Advantages of Using Steel-cased Button Batteries for Rechargeable Hearing Aids

According to a May 2020 survey, ownership of rechargeable hearing aids rose to 30% from 11% four years ago. As the sound quality, battery efficiency and interchangeability, and cosmetic appeal continue to improve, rechargeable hearing aids are becoming an inevitable trend for the future. However, users of disposable hearing aids are currently more concerned about rechargeable battery life and the ease of charging. So what batteries are used in rechargeable hearing aids? Today Grepow will tell the battery which used in rechargeable hearing aids and its advantanges.

What batteries are used in rechargeable hearing aids?

Rechargeable hearing aid battery shape is mostly button type. The battery material of it can be divided into nickel-hydrogen rechargeable batteries, silver-zinc rechargeable batteries, and lithium-ion rechargeable batteries (Li-ion rechargeable batteries) three categories which are built-in batteries and almost non-removable.

The first hearing aid with a built-in lithium-ion rechargeable battery was launched in 2016. In the context of the improvement of lithium-ion battery technology and energy density, lithium battery technology has become the first choice in almost all consumer electronics with many advantages. Since steel-cased button batteries can more perfectly fit the space size and structure of the rechargeable hearing aid charging compartment, they are now the battery of choice for rechargeable hearing aid batteries. So what are the advantages of using steel-cased button batteries for rechargeable hearing aids?

Advantages of using steel-cased button batteries for rechargeable hearing aids

1. Super battery life

Compared with non-rechargeable hearing aid batteries can only be used for a few days, rechargeable hearing aid super battery life in daily use should not be underestimated, a full charge can support 61 hours, enough for 4 days even more. Though in a complex environment, the use of Bluetooth connection and tracking, etc., users do not have to worry about the power.
