Hello Dear all!
I have some “technical” questions regarding the differences and reasons between rechargeable and swappable batteries for hearing aids.
My question comes from the need of TV/Audio streaming, with my rechargeable hearing aids I can get 3/4 hours at max, while with swappable batteries up to 11 hours or more.
The rechargeable hearing aids use a LIR 0854 type with 3.7V - 25mAh battery, therefore 0.09Wh, while the swappable use a 312 type battery which is 1.45V - 170mAh, therefore 0,245Wh. They both have nearly identical dimensions (312, so the technical question/curiosity is, why do two batteries with the same dimensions, have such different performance in terms of life time?
