Hearing Aid Batteries

Zenith No. Z-1M Hearing Aid "A" Battery

The Zenith Z-1M 1½ volt hearing aid "A" battery was made by the Zenith Radio Corporation of Chicago, IL for use in the Zenith "75" Radionic  vacuum tube hearing aid which it began manufacturing in 1947.

The Zenith Z-1M battery weighed 1.9 oz., and measured 2½" high by 1¼" wide by 11/16" thick.

This battery was paired with a 30 volt "B" battery, such as the Eveready 413E in the Zenith "75" Radionic vacuum tube hearing aid.
