How Can I Maximize the Battery Life of a Hearing Aids Bluetooth Dongle?
Asked by

I'm setting up Oticon's ConnectClip, a Bluetooth dongle that streams audio directly to hearing aids, for a family member. I've heard the device has a non-replaceable lithium battery that can degrade over time. Since they will mostly use it at home, I'm curious about the best practices for battery longevity. Should I keep it plugged in all the time, or is it better to use the battery while keeping it charged between 20% to 80%? Convenience is key for us, so I want to balance that with battery health.

While it might be tempting to keep the dongle plugged in, a lot of advice points to maintaining that 20%-80% charge range for optimal battery life. You'll probably find that retaining battery health is worth considering, especially if you want it to last as long as possible.

Some users suggest keeping the battery charged between 20% and 80% can delay degradation, though it’s tough to say how big of a difference it makes compared to leaving it plugged in all the time. If convenience matters, you could plug it in at home, but just stay mindful of battery health in the long run.
