No. 13 Zinc-Air Hearing Aid Battery
This No. 13 1.45 volt zinc-air hearing aid battery was made by an
unknown manufacturer, probably around 1996.
The No. 13 zinc-air battery measured 0.305" in diameter by
0.208" thick (0.78 x 0.5 cm) and weighed 0.02 oz. (0.5 g).
The No. 13 battery was quite thick as compared to its diameter,
unlike most other button batteries.
