ZPower performance has evolved. Widex introduces the Second Generation ZPower Rechargeable System, giving Widex rechargeable hearing aid users more flexibility and performance than ever before.
HAUPPAUGE, N.Y. March 8, 2019. Widex today announced the second generation ZPower Rechargeable System – an upgrade that has taken every element of how the battery system works into account, from the charger station software to the battery door. The charging station provides a more optimized charging cycle, and a new nanocoated ASIC chip ensures the best use of both short-and long-term power. A stronger battery door with 100% more plastic and an enhanced battery contact configuration makes the design more robust than ever, while extra moisture protection of metal parts provides optimal resistance from corrosion.
“We at Widex are committed to quality and continuous innovation, and we’re proud to introduce the second generation ZPower Rechargeable System,” said Jeff Geigel, President, Widex USA. “This upgrade comes with significant improvements to the design and battery lifespan, as well as faster personalization for Widex EVOKE users. We’re confident that users will be happy with this new product as a reliable and superior rechargeable solution.”
This evolution of ZPower batteries comes at a time when personalization of sound in hearing aids has also evolved. Just a few weeks ago, Widex announced that its AI engine, SoundSense Learn, has been enhanced to improve and personalize sound in Widex Evoke 25% faster.
ZPower rechargeable batteries are known for their high capacity, flexibility and safety. They have the highest energy capacity of all 312-batteries and outperform other rechargeable options by 20%. ZPower batteries can easily be replaced with standard zinc-air batteries if needed – or vice versa. They are also fully recyclable, mercury-free and non-flammable.
