I have an AB Nadia CI.
Does anyone know what these are for?
I thought this was a battery so I placed on charger overnight and it didn’t charge. The other piece I have no idea what it is.

It looks like they are for disposable (Zinc Air) batteries! If for some reason you don’t have access to a charger or it’s not working, it can be a good backup option.

Edit: here is more info from the manufacturer https://www.advancedbionics.com/content/dam/advancedbionics/ifus/it/029-R514-A1_Rev%20C_IFU%20Naida%20CI%20Zn%20Air%20battery%20pak%20Q30%20Q90%20MDR%20EN%20FR%20ES%20DE%20NL%20IT_preview.pdf

That's for disposable batteries (just make sure you buy the ones for cochlear implants and not the ones for hearing aids).

I was told this when I got my Nucleus two years ago, but I did some careful tests of implant grade vs standard grade 675 batteries. Implant grade lasted 51 hours, standard grade lasted 49 hrs. With my usage this was three days on either. Did the test because I have quite few standard grade left over from my Enzo days.
