Hi,

I wanted to buy a Power Bank to charge my Phonak Lumity hearing aids on the go (with their charging case).
But I’m completely ignorant when it comes to voltage, Watts and so on.

Any warning/suggestion?
Is any Power Bank that with a 5V output fine? Or should I look at Watts too?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Power pack that works with hearing aid charger
As many have discovered, many of the battery packs on the market will not charge such a low-current device as a hearing-aid charger, BUT I have just purchased an AUKEY Power Bank 15000mAh Portable Charger from NewEgg.com (I couldn’t find it at Amazon), and it works fine with my Phonak Charge and Care: it has a special setting for charging low-current devices. It’s NewEgg item 9SIAWR7F3N3359 and is now listed at $49.99, which is a lot more than the “sale price” I paid earlier this week.

I ran into the same issue when I took my Phonaks traveling. My power bank, which worked fine for cellphones, cut off with the hearing aid charger, and didn’t charge my aids. Got a low battery alert about noon the next day. The current requirement is pretty low, so almost any cheap power bank should work. Just make sure it puts out 5 volts, since that is what the plug in adapter puts out.
