Currently showing 65% after 15.5 hours with moderate streaming.

I have never had an issue with 15-16 hours of HEAVY noise and 4 hours of Spheric included.

It’s my understanding the new Ultra firmware update increases battery life even more.

I had like that for half a year, my aid is just that old,

Today it lasted only 13 hrs and no streaming, most hrs driving very quiet car on bumpy roads.

I will have to contact my provider.

This is very subjective, it all depends on how they are set up, receiver’s been used, noise reduction settings, how you charge them etc, but rechargeable are not as robust and reliable as we would like, for whatever reason Phonak do seem to their fair share of battery life complaints.

Is it possible your aids transitioned to Spheric Mode during your drive?

Phonak also has a program which automagically kicks in when you are in a car…maybe that program increased battery drainage.

I’ve heard numerous complaints about I90 Spheres with battery issues so anything is possible. In my case my 7 month old i90’s are not showing any battery issues.

Good Luck,

I have severe to profound loss, and I spend a majority of my work day streaming via Roger On, with some bluetooth phone calls here and there. There’s a lot of streaming from a TV streamer most evenings and some Bluetooth streaming as well.

With Lumity 90 devices, after two years, I couldn’t make it past 14 hours without getting a low battery warning. Never really got more than 16 hours when new.

Got Infinio Sphere 90s, and I never have to worry about battery life. Most days the app says I’m at 60ish percent before going to bed. On my longest 20+ hour days I’m never under 30% unless I was in Spheric situations. That’s not every day for me. Even when I am, I’m rarely in Spheric speech in noise for more than a couple hours. Haven’t had to charge them up mid day yet.

And things have only gotten better since the Ultra firmware update. Battery life alone was the primary reason I upgraded from Lumity so soon. Sphere is just an awesome bonus for me.
