These things are only as good as the batteries that they come with. We are used to buying the Oral B's for about $25. They last a year or so before the charging time seriously diminishes. This is an expensive thing. Does anybody know how long the...

Hi, the last one I had lasted over 10 years but I suspect the newer ones won't go that distance.

OK well they do last a good half to full day use if fully charged. But if you are asking what is the life expectancy for the battery, I really don't know except that this product is far better than turtle beaches. Far more comfy and slick design. Just thoughts to help u out.

I buy these batteries for my husband who wears Oticon behind the ear hearing aids and they last for about 4 days, which is about the same as when we were buying the name brand. These are the only ones I buy now. But remember that it depends on the device you are using. Some drain batteries faster. For the price it is worth comparing them to the name brands.

I would not buy from this vendor again. I've had much longer charges from cheaper replacement batteries. Perhaps I should blame myself for thinking $75 was a good deal for a Toshiba battery. It's probably better to pay the full price direct from Toshiba. I'm curious as to how long this battery will last. My original Toshiba battery lasted about two years and the replacements about 18 months. For the price, the replacements have been a better deal so far.

Hi, Mike, Just went and checked the two packs of batteries I have left. The expiration date on them is actually May of 2017. I have had good luck with these batteries. When I first began with hearing aids my audiologist said I'd be lucky to get 5 to 7 days out of a set of batteries. I find these last anywhere from 7 to 10 with daily use, say 16 or so hours a day (a bit fewer if I take a nap...) Hope this is helpful! Lovestoast.

I don't think the batteries are "bad". I think the "hype" about the duration is very misleading. I don't find any additional benefits from these "pro" batteries than from the "regular" alkaline batteries. The biggest benefit with these batteries is buying in bulk and they are a few dollars cheaper than buying locally.

When I ordered them a couple of months ago, the price was per battery. I felt the $11 plus was very reasonable since B&D; used to sell items for about $27 for 2. But it is NOT $11.00 for two!!!!!

I think not using them for such a long time has killed the battery. I have left regular chargeable batteries sit for a long time and they would not charge either. I think regular use is the key.

Yes! Best $25 I've ever spent. My wife and I both have the same phones, so we wanted a few extra batteries around the house. Turns out they last slightly longer than the original batteries that are in the phone. Plus, there is the bonus of having the extra charger. All in all, its a great deal.

mine have worked very well,but they don't seem to last as long as more expensive batteries,so i keep extras on hand.

I have had some go out fairly fast. I agree with Angie, buy best quality batteries and they last a long time. The Spinbrush tooth brush is awesome. :)

Have only had mine a little over a year, and I don't use it daily. The batteries still seem as good as when new. They hold a charge even when I leave them unused for a week or two.

I did use the ones they provided. BUT I also used my regular hearing aid battery (Size 312) and it lasted much longer and was clearer. I also had the rechargeable B&H 8397 but it lasted 4 hours at most and needed recharging. I used the B&H 8397 replacing my Siemans hearing aid which was over $4000. The B&H 8397 worked far better and I used it (bought several as I lost the cover or it fell out when I did not have it inserted good or was doing not usual things so it dis-anchored. The B&H 8397 served me extremely well and I still keep it handy for emergencies as I purchased a new Phonak which is excellent for everything. Second answer: I answered but somehow it did not send that, Repeat: I used the 312 batteries in the B&H amplifier and it worked beautifully for about 1-1/2 years. I T=tried the cheaper ones from Amazon but not much success. They have on Amazon the 312 batteries for hearing aids (48 for $23) which should last a long time. JUst try putting in "No. 312 hearing aid batteries) and it should come up for you. I';; try it again so if you e-mail me back I will have the right thing for you if you want to try it. I was going to get a cochlear implant (scheduled for Apr 15) v=but it was cancelled as I would be out of my doctors area for a month while my son goes to France. May reschedule in the fall. If you are having trouble with hearing aids, ask your audiologist about it as an audiologist must refer one for a cochlear implant but they are permanent and do not need batteries. That is the same battery you buy from drugstores and other utlets but they cost a lot more.

In my experience, these last as long as the battery - barring accidental damage. The older models had a user replaceable battery - not too easy with these newer models. If you care properly for the Li-ion battery, it may last 3-4 years - or even longer, depending on use. Of course, YMMV

My batteries only lasted six months. Batteries are super-expensive now. I'll just be using the plug from now on.

We bought my wife a mouthguard for about $250 a few years back. After comparing these to the mouthguard, they are pretty much the same exact thing. They are not as stiff as the mouthguard, but I see that as an advantage. My only concern would be is if there is anything in these that may be bad for your health after long periods of extended use (i.e., 6-8 hours each night), similar to BPA in plastic bottles. If no danger, then I'd say these are the way to go, plus you can use them for whitening.Good Luck!
