This is the worst packageing I have ever come across. Sometimes my hands don’t work. Really who the heck invented this. You have no instructions on them. I still don’t how to get in it.
I bought online a dozen packages of the "child resistant " style and they are very hard to access because a typical scissors can't cut the plastic. Terrible design. So aggravated me that I won't buy any Rayovac brand any more.
99% of Seniors cannot open this package ,2 in this house couldn't...We have arthritis, stiff fingers cannot use the sissors to cut open this new package. There has to be another way to package for real seniors
This childproof packaging has got to go! I neefed new batteries "on the go" and I tried to open the package, and COULDN'T! Come on....we need scissors now? I don't have scissors in my purse. The women at the checkout also couldn't open them with scissors. Please, in consideration of the elderly population, give us the CHOICE. My hands don't work well anymore. Bring back the twist package which was wonderful. the new package is a BAD DECISION.
These have a reputation for being long lasting and they are. I am marking them down for two reasons, The new packaging is nearly adult proof. I cannot get them out even with Swiss Army Knife. I ended up buying heave duty, titanium sheers to extract them. I carried them in a pill box. Several were dead when I tried to activate them. I am normally positively inclined to like child proof packages. Adult proof are not needed. I cannot recommend them until the packaging is fixed so that it is reasonable for an adult to extract new batteries,.
I am 71 years old and just spent 30 minutes getting out 2 batteries from the “child proof” package. Absolutely no consideration was given to seniors in this design. I had to purchase and industrial pair of scissors to open the package.
i HATE the current packaging on these batteries. The former packaging with the twist back was sooooo much easier. I have to use scissors to open these and then pry from the package. No longer able to carry extra packs in my purse.
