My husband is extremely pleased with how they work. He has the option of batteries or they also gave him a charger. When he takes them off at night he just puts them in the charger and they are ready for the next day.
Dad's are the new 'high tech' ones too. They also cost him thousands of $ but his insurance did cover them. His favourite joke is : "they even come with a remote control, my wife keeps it in her purse!" And it's true!
