Ditch the magnifying glass and use your cell phone. Taking a picture and zooming in is easier, less prone to misreading, and can be saved so you can reorder next time without re-checking.

yes the two battery numbers are of different manufacturers but are the same capcity in current. You can buy the alkaline same number for 25 cents each or the lithium one for more capacity and at about 50 cents each. Most watches use that number in their watches today.

A store wants 6 dollars to change it but you can do it with knife blade.

My hearing aids use the 312. Free from the VA. Hearing aids were also free from the VA.

Jerry, I'm a Radio Control hobbiest as well as a camera junkie, and let me tell you, the number and size/shape/cells/voltage/amperage/chemistry/connectors & manufacturer specific combinations would make your head spin. I actually have metal ammo cans (for safety reasons), that hold many many batteries, mostly LiPo in those, but also LiOn, NIMH/NiCad. My battery army is primarily rechargeables, so there is some joy in that. I take good care of them and get a ton of cycles out of most of them. If they were all one shot, I'd be broke (or more broke than I already am).

Yes, I think there is a lot of pre-planned racketry in the battery powered world. It is a huge money maker, probably much more profitable than the products themselves by some huge multiplier (and a huge disposal/recycle environmental problem as well). When you add all the product specific batteries, as others have mentioned, it becomes mind boggling. Ahhhhh.... the price on convenience.........

Somewhere back in modern history, the inventor of an early battery powered device probably mumbled something to an assistant: I wonder if there is any market for these conveniences, and the damn batteries to power them?

I used to use 312 on older aids and 13's before that on older analog aids. I got some free batteries over the last 3 years after I bought the current aids, but the freebies stopped after my last cleaning visit. Been wearing hearing aids since 1956...

Doh, the cell phone kills the magnifying glass market, oh the price of progress......

Hearing aid batteries usually will not fit watches. The most common battery is 377 the same as SR6326. Any watch with a screw back will take (as a rule) different ones. Amazon has crap batteries as well as good brand names, your choice. Timex, uses several different ones, usually a larger size than the 377 common one. I replace dozens of watch batteries in donated watches to the local Salvation Army Store. They sell them fast at $5. Buying batteries in larger cards save $.

Don't feel bad Jerry, it could be worse. I have an old Acutron watch that you can't buy new batteries for because of the ban on some kind of ingredient or chemical inside the battery. I bought some modified batteries that have a small resistor soldered on them that works, but the watch won't keep time like it used to. This watch was the one with a tuning fork thing inside that vibrated and kept the watch very accurate. Not so good though if the battery isn't the exact voltage it needs.

Since changing hearing aides, I have several packages of unused 312s. Any interest. Willing to pay what.
They are German made Duracells. Best by 2020. Thirteen packages of 6.

I have both 13s and 312 batteries leftover from older aids. The 312s go in my older digital in the ear aids that are there in case I need to send in either of my current units( which I did have to have a new one made & was glad to have something to use)

I get free batteries from VA😂😜

For me anyway, relying a phone's clock to check the time is just plain stupid. I carry the phone in a holster on my belt so I would have to pull it out, press the 'On' button to display the screen (it always goes to sleep) then put my glasses on so that I can see that tiny little time display in the upper right corner. No thank you, I'll stick with a wristwatch. All I have to do is twist my arm to see that I'm late for an appointment. But as the say, "to each his own".

I’m with you😂😜

I also usually use my cell phone to check the time. But I wear a watch to church since it is easier to sneak a look at the watch.
