What are size 13 batteries?

Size 13 batteries are a popular choice for many hearing aid users due to their balanced performance and longer lifespan. They are slightly larger which allows them to store more energy. This makes them ideal for more powerful hearing aids that require more power for advanced features like Bluetooth connectivity.

How long does size 13 batteries last?

One of the key advantages of size 13 batteries is their longevity. On average, they can last between 6 to 14 days, depending on the hearing aid’s power consumption. This is significantly longer than the smaller size 10 batteries that might only last 3 to 7 days. This longer battery life means fewer battery changes, making size 13 a convenient option for users who prefer less frequent maintenance. In terms of usage, size 13 batteries are perfect for individuals who use their hearing aids throughout the day. This is especially handy in environments where they need to utilize advanced features consistently.

Compared to the smaller size 10, it’s important to note that their smaller size also means shorter battery life. They are specifically made for smaller hearing aids. Therefore, if your hearing aid can accommodate the size 13 batteries, they might be the better option for longer use between battery changes.

Easily accessible and replaceable

Moreover, many brands offer size 13 batteries, including well-known names like Bernafon, Oticon, and Phonak. These batteries are usually zinc-air, meaning they are activated by exposure to air once the tab is removed. It’s advisable to let the battery sit for about a minute after removing the tab before inserting it into the hearing aid to maximize its performance.

If your hearing aid model supports size 13 batteries and you require a reliable power source for continuous use, these batteries are an excellent choice, offering a good balance between size and longevity. They are also particularly beneficial if you lead an active lifestyle and need your hearing aids to perform consistently without frequent interruptions for battery replacements.
