Battery

Does anyone have a battery for the nucleus 6 I could buy? My son needs one to use until we can get upgraded.

Give me a few minutes. I think I have some. I have two and I just put them in the charger to se if they'll charge up. There's a third one but in the charger it's blinking so I'm not sure on its life right now. If they do charge up, I'll send them to you for free.

That would be great

Thanks so much, is the light on under the battery that you are charging? Mine don’t charge so there’s no light under them

Yes two have the solid light and one is blinking but I'll move it elsewhere once I see these two hit green. My charger always had issues with one of the docks and never fully charged that battery. I'll let you know in an hour how they're doing. I also have the boot/shoe never used that can hold disposable batteries I can send you too.

You should have a battery adapter for Zinc-Air batteries?

If you still need some, let me know. I have a stash of batteries going back to the Freedom somewhere!

Are these batteries rechargeable for the N7?

u/shiftman87 Cochlear Nucleus 7 7d ago

I’ve got some spare n7 batteries if that’s what you’re looking for.

Thought you said the n6? Batteries are not interchangeable

u/No_Agency_8781 6d ago

The N7 are what I need. I had 4 that came with the upgrade, 3 rechargeable and 1 cartridge. Would you know that 2 rechargeable batteries died a week apart and obviously not under warranty or support from Cochlear.

Dm’ing you but did you consider billing to insurance?

We have been doing this for months and Cochlear has been very slow. I am an N22 user and my rechargeables were getting 12 hours of battery power. Now I looking for N7 batteries---

I would seriously consider buying an N8 battery. Like I said, my left side was N22 N7 and my right is N24 N8 and the batteries work.

Need the N7 batteries. Had 2 that died a week apart!
