CAMARILLO, Calif., Jan. 15, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- ZPower, a leader in rechargeable microbattery technology, announced a partnership with Oaktree Products, a leading distributor of clinical supplies to the hearing industry, to make hearing aid replacement batteries more accessible to hearing care providers.
This new partnership will streamline the battery reorder process by allowing hearing care providers to order ZPower replacement batteries directly through Oaktree Products.
"ZPower is changing the landscape for rechargeable hearing aids with their silver-zinc microbatteries," said Bob Kemp, CEO and Owner of Oaktree Products. "Their technology was a game changer for people with hearing loss and we're proud to do our part to enable greater adoption of rechargeable power in the hearing space."
For 20 years, ZPower has been an innovator in rechargeable battery technology.

It uses a non-toxic, non-flammable, water-based electrolyte that is safe for wearable technologies.
"Rechargeability is a critical contributor to a positive and empowered experience for hearing aid users and we're happy to see it proliferating in the space. We are passionate about exploring additional applications of our silver-zinc technology that enrich the human experience--especially in markets needing an alternative to traditional chemistries to power the next game changing technologies," said Ross Dueber, CEO of ZPower.
