Miracle Ear ME8Z Zinc-air Hearing Aid Battery
The Miracle Ear ME8Z zinc-air hearing aid battery is really a No. 13
size battery. It was made in the USA for Miracle Ear and was distributed
by Dahlberg, Inc. of Golden Valley, MN. These batteries probably date
from the 1990s.
The ME8Z 1.4 volt batteries had a capacity of 230 mAh.
These zinc-air batteries were the same size as other No. 13 batteries
and weighed around 0.035 oz.
and measured 0.305" in diameter
by 0.208" thick. |

Bottom view of the Miracle Ear ME8Z zinc-air battery showing the
positive (+) terminal. Note the two holes in the bottom. These holes
let air into the battery to activate it. That is why it is called a
zinc-air battery.
Once the orange tab (below) is removed the battery starts working (and
thus running down) whether you use it or not. |

tab covering and sealing the 2 air holes so the battery is not activated
and thus has a long shelf life. The orange tab is the
standard color for all 13-sized zinc-air batteries, no matter who makes
them.
