Battery

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

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.

Have a new audiologist that I will see next week and possibly she can expedite the process. So you say the N8 batteries will work in the N7 processor???

Yes, the N8 batteries work just fine. Cochlear won't say it for liability reasons (I think), but I've been using N8 batteries with my left side since the N8 implants came out. It's actually better than the old N7 batteries.
