Batteries for Medical Apparatus
Please can you provide some information on how batteries required for medical apparatus such as hearing aids and pacemaker are chosen and is there a difference between these and normal batteries?
EnviroHealth expert
I don't know too much about this except batteries for this appliances are usually lithium batteries, which tend to last longer. They often have specific disposal instructions; it's best to contact the manufacturer about this.
