BATTERIES

(CONTINUED)

Zinc-Air Batteries
QSAs use commonly-available #10 zinc-air hearing aid batteries.

They are easy to find in pharmacies, online and other retail locations,

including Radio Shack.
• Zinc-air batteries have a long shelf life, but once the tab is removed,

battery life is about 9 days for continuous operation.

• Battery life is about 2 weeks if the devices are turned off

after each use.

• Once the tab is removed, zinc-air batteries may self-discharge

in about 4 weeks whether used or not.

• The discharge rate varies with temperature and humidity.
• It is sometimes possible to prolong the life of a battery by replacing

the tab over the air holes, but results vary.
