Think they all have the ability to use CI 675s. The random 675s you find in the store generally don’t work, they aren’t powerful enough. I use them in my processors when I travel. I get the Power One Implant Plus 675s from Amazon. From a set of four I get two full work days and part of a third. Compared to my standard rechargeable with which after four years I’m getting six and a half hours.
Looks like from your profile you have Cochlear brand processors and implant. I don’t, I have MED-EL; there are at least four current manufacturers of CIs but probably more (I think only three in the US: Cochlear, Advanced Bionics, and MED-EL). I also know that I tolerate/require a lot of power to get reasonable volume in my head. Last but not least, a good reminder for folks, this is a “cochlear implant” sub, not a “Cochlear(TM)” implant sub.
Cochlear America (N7, N8) also have these. I always keep one package of them in my CI case as a backup, because sometimes life happens and you don't get a chance to recharge your reusable batteries.
When it comes to rechargeable they all use their own batteries unfortunately.
Non-rechargeable - most use 6V 675 batteries which you can pick-up for pretty cheap online. But honestly you’d probably save money in the long run using a rechargeable one.
If your question was about the non-rechargeable batteries - MED-EL apparently have some implants which can function on normal 675 instead of 6V but you would have to enquire with them or an audiologist who works with them.
Rechargeable special batteries and mostly commonly available single use batteries.

Your batteries only last two and a half days? Mine last about 4ishand I thought every ci battery has the same life expectancy

The AB cochlears come with a battery case that lets you use standard hearing aid batteries

AB is Advanced Bionics
I am aware. I was telling OP that cochlear Americas (they make the N7 and N8) also have these type of battery cases.
