AnswerPR70, 10, PR10, AC10 are the supported exact aliases for one 5.8 × 3.6 mm zinc-air button cell. No other family is treated as an automatic replacement.
Supported application context
- Hearing aids specifying this size
Application context is limited to the scope stated in Energizer size 10 Product Datasheet; it is not a device compatibility claim.
This is an air-activated hearing-aid size. Confirm the numeric or PR marking before removing the tab; tab colour alone is not a technical identifier.
PR70/size 10 is the smallest supported zinc-air family at 5.8 × 3.6 mm. Its retail number is an identity, not a voltage or capacity value; verify PR70 or size 10 before removing the activation tab.
Commonly confused
What the code means
PR70 is the IEC-style zinc-air identity; the numbered size and AC/PR forms are evidence-backed names for the same physical family.
Discharge and drain behaviour
Removing the tab admits air and starts activation. Delay after activation, airflow, temperature and use pattern can materially change service life.
Capacity context: Product- and test-specific; consult a current manufacturer datasheet.
Substitution guidance
Use the exact supported size specified by the hearing device. Colour tabs help identify a size but are not, by themselves, proof of equivalence.
