Yes, the Bernafon Charger Plus miniRITE can be used to store hearing aids when not in use, even if it is not connected to a power source. It has a power bank function that allows charging without being plugged in, and storing the hearing aids in the charger keeps them secure and turned off.

I have the Bernafon Charger Plus. The 3 lights on the charger unit don’t come on and it’s not charging my hearing aids. The lights on the hearing aids are not coming on.
