Exceptionally difficult to open

The batteries are good, once you manage to get them out of the package without tearing your hands apart. You need scissors, and then you get sharp edges to try to pry open without slicing your fingers. Want to carry a pack in your pocket or purse? Better carry a pair of scissors as well. If your batteries die while you're out--as has happened to me several times--you can't just drop into a drugstore and buy a pack. You'll also have to buy a pair of scissors.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for submitting your review. Many thanks for you feedback on the new child-resistant packaging. We have changed the packaging format to be in compliance with Reese’s Law, which states that all button, coin and hearing aid batteries – and devices powered by those batteries – must be contained in child-resistant packaging that features specific warning copy.
The products have been subject to rigorous independent tests, confirming that the new packaging is 100% child resistant*, and zero batteries were accessed by children during CRP testing.* The new plastic dial includes additional staking points for extra security. By that nature it does mean that there will be a difference for users in how to access batteries in the pack, compared to previous packaging. The independent testing also showed that 99% of seniors were able to open the pack for the first time in under one minute*. On the second attempt, this time halved* so we found that consumers become faster with more familiarity and with instruction. We want to support everyone through the transition to child-resistant packaging and have prepared the following video that shows you how to open the pack.

Child Resisitant Packaging
on November 7, 2025
Posted by: Senior lady

This packaging is probably child resistant but it is definitely senior citizen resistant. I like the batteries but find it very difficult to open the packaging. This requires hand strength and a scissors.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Child resistant packaging RAYOVAC 312
on November 6, 2025
Posted by: DavidJ
from Roanoke, VA
Gender:Male
I am a long time RAYOVAC 312 battery user. I will no longer purchase this product due to child resistant packaging. I am a senior and do not need this protection. What I do need is the convenient, easy (non-scissor), fast package opening the moment my hearing aid batteries run out. The battery change occurs at restaurant dinners, stop lights, etc. The child protective packaging must have come from a child eating your batteries. I understand your packaging change to prevent lawsuits.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What am I to do? The child resistant packaging is impossible for me to open, I am 90 years old, have arthritis in my hands. Do you have an easy to open package? Where can I get it? Why don't you make an easy open package for the people who use the most batteries?
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Why would anyone want to ruin a good pair of scissors 'not to mention arthritic thumbs and fingers' just to access your products?

Seniors can open in 60 seconds? Let’s see, I should carry a pair of scissors along every place I go. Get with the real world you knuckleheads.

Don't buy until they fix the packaging

The child-proof packaging now requires the use of some tool, e.g., scissors, to open. With that, it is still difficult to open, and one runs the risk of cutting oneself on the stiff plastic .

NOT child proof
on September 22, 2025
Posted by: grandpa

Gender:Male
I bought these and I wont buy them again. After having to get my best pair of scissors to cut thru the package to get two out I continued to get them all out of the package. Now I have 4 loose batteries on my dresser. Guess who grabbed them off of my dresser. Yes my grand child. So instead of be child resistant they are more available to the children.
I will not buy your product until you go back to the old package.
