ZINC AIR - Dzirdes aparātiem
Hearing aids require absolute stability, safety, and reliability. VIDEX Zinc Air batteries use a unique technology - they are activated only after removing the protective sticker when the battery starts reacting with ambient oxygen.
Why VIDEX Zinc Air is an excellent choice for your hearing:
- Consistent and clear sound: Provides constant voltage (1.45V) throughout the cycle, completely eliminating hearing aid distortion due to power drops.
- Total safety: Developed to high standards, 100% safe against leaking in the human ear.
- Smart economy: More hours of continuous operation at a much friendlier price than in pharmacies.

Q: How do Zinc-Air (1.45V) hearing aid batteries work and why is a protective sticker applied to them?
Q: How to properly activate a Zinc-Air battery before inserting it into a hearing aid?
Q: What do the color codes (yellow 10, orange 13, brown 312, blue 675) on hearing aid batteries mean?
Q: Why does the lifespan of Zinc-Air batteries shorten in very dry or very humid air environments?
Q: Why shouldn't a depleted Zinc-Air battery be left in the hearing aid after its operation ends?
A: In Zinc-Air batteries, oxygen from the surrounding air is used as an active reagent, entering the zinc anode through micro-pores. The colored protective sticker seals the air vents and prevents the electrochemical reaction from starting before use, ensuring a 5-year storage resource in an unopened state.
Q: How to properly activate a Zinc-Air battery before inserting it into a hearing aid?
A: After tearing off the colored sticker, the battery must be kept in the open air for exactly 1 to 2 minutes before insertion into the device. During this time, oxygen completely fills the cell's internal volume, ensuring that the VIDEX Zinc-Air battery reaches a stable 1.45V working voltage and full current output.
Q: What do the color codes (yellow 10, orange 13, brown 312, blue 675) on hearing aid batteries mean?
A: The color codes are an international IEC standard marking that helps unmistakably select the battery size and capacity. Yellow 10 (5.8 x 3.6 mm, ~100 mAh), brown 312 (7.9 x 3.6 mm, ~180 mAh), orange 13 (7.9 x 5.4 mm, ~310 mAh), and blue 675 (11.6 x 5.4 mm, ~640 mAh) match a specific size device socket.
Q: Why does the lifespan of Zinc-Air batteries shorten in very dry or very humid air environments?
A: Zinc-air electrochemistry is directly dependent on the ambient humidity level. In high humidity (above 80%), water vapor is absorbed into the battery, diluting the electrolyte, while in dry air (below 20%) the electrolyte evaporates, so the optimal working environment is 40–60% relative humidity.
Q: Why shouldn't a depleted Zinc-Air battery be left in the hearing aid after its operation ends?
A: After complete discharge, the open air micro-vents allow the internal zinc compound to react with the air, forming white zinc oxide discharge. Leaving an empty battery in the device can cause this discharge to clog the hearing aid's micro-contacts and cause corrosion.
