I’ve bought Rayovac 312 batteries for several years and they are as good as Energizer and Duracell and as good as the German made one that came with my hearing aids. BUT I have purchased my last package. Prior to the ones I purchased a month ago, they were fairly easy to remove from the packaging. The new packaging requires sicissors and it is almost impossible to cut the plastic to remove the battery. I worry I will cut my finger or the battery. If you weren’t required to use this kind of packaging, I urge you to change back to the old packaging.
I have bought these batteries for the last seven years and have been very satisfied, BUT they have changed the packaging, and it is now virtually impossible to get batteries out for use. Take these negative reviews to heart because, believe me, you do not want to struggle with this packaging.
Bought a 2-pack of this battery for my hearing aids. Advertised as child resistant but is actually adult resistant. I am an 85 year old woman who is not a weakling. I am going back to Duracell. Much easier to access the batteries.
I do not like the new packaging. It would be inconvenient if I was in a situation where I did not have immediate access to scissors to cut the packaging.
I Recently bought the newer version of the child resistant package of 312 hearing aid batteries. I checked on YouTube on how to cut open the package. Tried to cut open the package and found it extremely hard to cut due to arthritis in my hand. The packaging needs to be redesign for people like me. Will not buy this product again until they redesign their child/senior resistant packaging
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just received a new order of batteries from the VA. Your child resistant package is is also 78 y/o Veteran resistant to. It took me almost 10 mins to release 6 battery’s. The second batch was a little easier. I took a drill and drilled out those 6 dimples. If I want to keep extra battery’s in my car or my friends car I need to pre release some from the packaging. No way could I open the packaging on the road or on a trip. You really need to package some battery’s that us old folks can get in to. Think about the 60 or 70 y/o lady who lives alone. Think she could get that battery out. I know you’ll say the battery’s area chocking hazard. But . . . So are M&Ms, so are cough drops, so are peanuts. As to would I recommend this product to a friend, no, not in this packaging.
i get my batteries from the veterans administration the batteries are the 312 hearing aids this time with the child resistant packaging,i tried to open the packaging and it was so bad a person trying to open the package without special tools cannot be done,the product needs to be review and tried before senting out new ones
