Question

Is corrosion a problem for hearing aid batteries? A patient returned a package of hearing aid batteries because he dropped it in the sink. He retrieved it right away, but it was covered with corrosion, and he sent the package back to us.

Answer

It's really not corrosion, but rust. The batteries are made out of nickel-plated steel, so they can be affected by moisture which will eventually cause rusting. Remove the corroded/rusted battery from the aid immediately and return it to the manufacturer. Rayovac guarantees all of our batteries with 100% satisfaction.
