Comparison

ZA10 vs ZA312

Short answer: both are zinc-air hearing-aid cells about 3.6 mm tall — size 10 (yellow tab / ZA10) is about 5.8 mm across; size 312 (brown tab / ZA312) is about 7.9 mm. Tab colour and tray size both matter.

Short answer

Match the empty pack colour tab and the size printed on the aid or blister — size 10 (yellow) is not size 312 (brown).

IEC labels: ZA10 / PR70 for size 10; ZA312 / PR41 for size 312.

What is the same

Both are zinc-air primary cells used in many non-rechargeable hearing aids, activated when the tab is removed. Approximate height is about 3.6 mm for both.

What is different

Diameter: size 10 ≈ 5.8 mm; size 312 ≈ 7.9 mm. The wrong diameter will not seat in the battery door.

Runtime and which aids name each size differ — always follow the manufacturer’s non-rechargeable size table for that model.

Also not the same

Size 13 (orange / ZA13) is taller (~5.4 mm) than both 10 and 312 — see ZA312 vs ZA13.

Size 675 (blue) and rare size 5 are different again — see the hearing-aid size hub under Tools.

Do not use list

Do not swap size 10 and 312 by looking at height alone.

Do not use these cells in sealed rechargeable hearing aids — that is a different power system.
