New Packaging
on January 15, 2025
Posted by: Roger

Gender:Male
The new package was so difficult to figure out how to open it I went to UTuBe.
I cut a pie shaped wedge (not cleanly, very difficult) and couldn't get the battery out
cleanly. The cut left sharp plastic edges so when I reach for the next batter I can lacerate my fingers. For a childproof package it is just plain stupid. Now if I need a battery I have to fine a scissors somewhere. Maybe 7 eleven. They have out engineered the problem. Please change back to the old design. I'll have to use Everready until then.

Poor Packaging

(re: child resistant packaging) I have been using hearing aid batteries (of all brands) for over 50 years and find this the worst packaging I have used. I was unable to open the child resistant package, and my husband also had difficulty. We are both very nimble. There is no way that I could use these away from home which is when I often need to replace a battery. Unless another packaging option is provided, I will no longer purchase the Rayovac brand. Aside from the packaging, these batteries perform well.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

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.

New packaging is horrible!!

I've always used Ray O Vac batteries in my hearing aids, but with this new packaging, I am seriously considering changing brands. It is impossible to get in to. I have neuropathy in my fingers and have to struggle to get a battery out of the packaging. Using scissors makes it all the more likely I could stab myself forcing the package open.
I see this says that this is a review for the 16 battery pack. The dispenser that was used for the 8-pack was great. Unfortunately when I went to buy my new supply only the 6-packs were available with the Child Resistant Packaging.
If the 8-packs are still available with the old packaging, I would buy them, but never again can I buy the 6-pack in the new packaging.

New packaging is too difficult to open & too few #

I had to find a very sharp scissors and cut hard then pry the packaging open. This is a 5 minute task. So, I spend the time to remove all the batteries and put them in an old package so I could get to them when needed. I have batteries in my cars and in backpacks so that I can replace batteries when they go dead at inconvenient times like driving. Now I have to carry special tools and pull over where before I could hand the hearing aid to my wife and point to the batteries. She would change them ...no problem. Now there is a big problem. The batteries last about 3 days so I have to replace batteries often. With 2 hearing aid, I am replacing one about every 1.5 days.... frustrating.

This is the worst packaging ever!! I have been using these batteries for years. Based on this new packaging I will find a different brand! when it takes 5 to 10 minutes to open the packaging its a problem. The team that developed and sold this packaging should be fired
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Darn packaging

I curse you every week when I have to replace my batteries. The plastic is so tough. When I manage to cut through to the center of the pack, it's like the plastic welds itself and I can't get the battery out. I'm so afraid of snipping of the tip of my finger. I'm surprised there have not been sued for for this dumb advancement. would I recommend to a friend? It's the packaging not the batteries.

idiotic packaging

who was the rocket scientist that developed the "childproof" packaging ? almost sliced my fingers off trying to open. you need aviation snips to cut through the plastic, and then beg the batteries to fall out.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
