If so, then where? As a male, I keep a couple unused 675A batteries in
wallet but they don't seem to last long in them since I try to use them
after a couple months later since they are dead. Their tab stickers were
still secured too! I change my batteries once every other week since
they only seem to last a couple weeks. :(

Thank you in advance. :)

I think I remember seeing a gadget on one of the battery sites that
clips to your keyring and stores two batteries. If I find it I'll let
you know.

Thanks. I keep my keys in my pockets as well. Ha.

I sometimes find very small change purses at the dollar store. The one
I use has a front compartment for loose change and the zipper pouch
gives me room for a six pack of batteries and some of the wax guard
changers.

Yes, always in my wallet. Haven't had any problems with them going bad, even after many months.

My aids play a tone when the batteries are going, but it's kinda useless since they go dead about 5 minutes after the tone.

Ha, mine just die without any warnings. Lame. :(

The Starkey In the Canal aid I use beeps when the battery is to be replaced and
the battery still worls for another 30 min. after the beep

The 312 battery comes for a week and I always acrry a spare in a small pouch and
it has always worked the full term.
