Nominal voltage (1.4volt) vs. operating voltage?
1.4 volts is a zinc air battery’s nominal voltage when measured after fully activated without any load and it can be slightly different per manufacturer. However, the battery’s actual operating voltage is less than that (such as 1.2volt or 1.25volt) when measured with load. The hearing aid device works very well as long as the battery maintains its operating voltage above 1.1 volts.
