We now have an idea regarding the battery life for the BP100.
Can anybody let me know what the average battery life is for the Intenso? I assume these larger batteries will cost more than those for the BP100?

Hi,
I wear an Intenso and use the "power one" batteries (size is p675) -- the brand that Cochlear uses and includes with the sound processor when you first receive it. They are German batteries and I order them online from microbattery.com. Delivery time is just a few days. I get the 10 "six pack" deal and the price, including shipping, is a little under $30.00.
The batteries generally last in the range of 12-14 days, and the Intenso emits a couple of beeps when the battery is running low (I don't know whether the BP100 has this feature; I don't believe that the Divino does). I know this is not a "green" practice ... but I replace my battery every Saturday morning. It's just a good routine for me and that way I don't have to bother about listening for the beep.

I have a Divino and use an "orange" hearing aid battery, which I think is a size 13 (?) As far as I know, the BP100 takes the same size batteries.
I usually get about 2 weeks out of a battery before I need to change it.
The Divino does not have a warning beep for a low battery, but the BP100 does.
I generally just buy batteries at my local Walmart, Target, or Walgreens and I typically buy Duracell.

I have a pair of Baha Intenso. Battery liife on left side goes from 12 to 14 days while the right side can go pass two weeks. I have the left side turned up a bit more than the right side due my hearing is weaker on left side. I already bought a box of 10 packs of PowerOne batteries to last me over a year. ;)
