Guest guest Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 Lori I now use ZeniPower Implant batteries for my disposables. I buy them in bulk and get them from http://www.microbattery.com They are much less expensive than PowerOne and they last the same amount of time with the same sound quality for me. In actuality, I notice no difference in sound quality between the disposables and rechargeables. I hear equally well with either. Happy Hearing!

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Hi Lori, and can also recommend Microbattery.com for Zenipower. I import them from the USA to South Africa, and try to let as many as possible people get them. My daughter has been using them as well and we are quite satisfied. Happy hearing!

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 I buy my batteries by the box from my audiologist. It's WAY cheaper than getting them from a store and they are fresh, so they last longer. I pay about $40 for a box. Rae From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of Larry Burgess Sent: Monday, September 15, 2008 9:54 PM Subject: CI Batteries Hi everyone, For those of you who use Freedom, are there places other than Cochlear to buy the disposable batteries from? I mean I know I could go into my local CVS and buy size 675 batteries but they probably won't last as long. I'm curious to know what other options others have found. I am using both rechargeable and disposable batteries. Thanks, Larry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Larry, I buy the ZeniPower Implant Power batteries from http://www.microbattery.com They work just fine for me and Microbattery seems to have the best prices.

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 You could call Cochlear directly and see if they can bill directly to your health insurance. I am told medicare covers them. You would have to call ahead as it takes a week or two, I think. I have not done it but worth a try if your insurance covers them. Also I was told these are special CI batteries, not 675 like Hearing Aid batteries? Did you try 675 batteries? ________________________________ > > From: tallcarabians@... > Date: Mon, 15 Sep 2008 21:57:43 -0500 > Subject: RE: CI Batteries > > > I buy my batteries by the box from my audiologist.

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 You're welcome, . I'm fortunate, my hearing aid and CI both use 675's, so I use the CI ones in the hearing aid too.

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 Hello everyone, My batteries are running a little low whereas the amount I have is probably enough for about another 3 months or so. However, I probably should start preparing in advance to order for more. On the other hand, I might also be interested to upgrade to the N5, possibly sometime later this year. So, how would that work with the batteries? That they (i.e. Freedom + N5) both use different batteries. And that the ones the N5 use are smaller, right? Thanks!

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 Thy both use 675 disposables. The N5 uses 2 and the Freedom uses 3. They use different rechargeables though. Happy Hearing!
