Question

Now that ZPower second generation enhancements are available with Widex, what are the advantages in choosing a ZPower rechargeable system versus other rechargeable systems on the market?

Answer

That’s a great question- We can sum it up in 3 simple points:

  1. Flexible for Real-Life Situations- Your patient can easily replace with a standard zinc air battery at any time, if they forget to charge or are without power.
  2. The Highest Capacity-  ZPower Second Generation Rechargeable has the highest energy capacity compared to all other rechargeable 312 batteries, outperforming other options by more than 20%. The battery can be charged hundreds of times without losing significant capacity. 
  3. Safe & Recyclable-ZPowered batteries are mercury-free and fully recyclable.  They use water-based chemistry which makes them stable, non-flammable and safe for both medical and wearable purposes.

A press release on Widex's ZPower second generation can be found here. To learn more, please visit Widex or the Widex Partners Page on AudiologyOnline.
