Care and Maintenance

Battery Information

The IQbuds 2 PRO hearing aid battery operating life is 2-3 years based on average use and charging 3
times per week.
The capacity of any type of battery will diminish after a certain amount of recharging. With lithium-
ion batteries, the capacity diminishes slightly with each complete charge cycle. Lithium-ion batteries
may be charged at any time and there is no requirement to fully discharge the battery before
recharging it again. A single charge cycle is achieved each time you fully discharge 100% of the
battery capacity and recharge the battery again.
A discharge of 50% of the battery and recharge of the battery represents one half (0.5) charge cycle.
The batteries in the hearing aids are designed to retain 80% of their capacity after 400 full charge
cycles giving the product a long usage lifespan.
Lithium-ion batteries are affected by temperature.
Use the following guidelines to preserve rechargeable batteries:
•
Recommended storage conditions: Temperature 68˚F to 86˚F (20˚C to 30˚C) with humidity
not greater than 90%. Avoid placing in direct sunlight or extreme cold.
•
Operating temperature range: XX˚F to XX˚F (XX˚C to XX˚C)
•
Do not store hearing aids for extended periods without recharging them. If not regularly used
charge around every 4 months.
•
If you handle or store rechargeable batteries incorrectly, their lifetime may be reduced.
