It has a lower temperature that is suitable for rechargeables.

A worldwide configuration is also available that contains a power supply with the following interchangeable blades: AUS, EU, UK, STD.
Desiccant
Zephyr ships with the custom Dry-Brik® II desiccant. The Dry-Brik contains an aggressive sorbent (mol sieve) packaged in an attractive, molded, disposable container. Each Dry-Brik has a shelf-life of at least one year, unopened. Once the foil label is removed, the Dry-Brik II lasts two (2) months. Replacement desiccants are inexpensive and are available from Dry & Store distributors. The desiccant also absorbs odors as it dries. In some countries the Zephyr ships with an oven rechargeable metal canister desiccant. Both types of desiccants are available as accessories, and Dry & Store Global II operates well with either, though a can-type does not provide the deodorizing function that the Dry-Brik provides. Can desiccants are not available on this website. Instead, contact your distributor or call us at 1-800-327-8547.
Battery Removal
Batteries do not have to be removed from hearing aids before using Zephyr by Dry & Store. Independent tests by Eveready Battery Co. on their Energizer/Amplifier® batteries showed a 10-20% gain in battery life under high (85% RH) humidity conditions, and no decrease in life at normal (50% RH) conditions. This was confirmed by a user survey which showed that over 50% of users experienced longer battery life.
