Full details
The Ansmann Type 13 (Orange) hearing aid batteries are designed for users of analog and digital hearing devices who require consistent, reliable, and mercury-free power. These high-performance zinc-air cells offer stable voltage for clear sound reproduction and feature an impressive shelf life of up to four years, making them ideal for long-term storage or regular use; however, it is important to note that as zinc-air batteries, they require air exposure to activate, which may result in a short wait time after the protective tab is removed.
