VFusion Rechargeable Batteries (sold separately) VFusion Batteries are encased in a green band to highlight their rechargeability and make them easier to differentiate from other battery chemistries. They come in battery size 13 (32mAH) or 312 (28mAH), which correspond to the battery needs of your hearing devices. Your hearing professional can provide the appropriate VFusion Charger and VFusion Batteries for use with your hearing devices.
Recharging VFusion Batteries at room temperature will optimize battery recharge time and improve battery longevity. If the VFusion Charger or VFusion Batteries are exposed to extremely hot or cold conditions (such as a parked vehicle), they may need to return to room temperature before successful charging can begin. The VFusion Charger automatically begins charging when temperature conditions are acceptable.
