Extremely difficult to open

i must replace 312 Batteries for my 92 year husband who is deaf without hearing aids. The new packaging i have to deal with is not at all easy. Do you expect one to carry scissors with them, since batteries go out at any time or place? Child proof is not the big problem, poor new packaging is the problem.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Packing Problem Only

I've used only your brand of batteries since I began wearing a hearing aid about five years ago. The batteries are consistently working well.
However, it's your recent change in packaging that is driving me away...to a different brand.
The rigid plastic packaging is impossible to cut through with a scissors. If one's hands are strong enough to use the scissors on that plastic, it's almost impossible to separate the two pieces. The plastic is sharp (especially once cut with the scissors) and slices into a user's skin and can cause bleeding, which can be dangerous to an elderly person on blood thinners.
Is there any chance that you will change this dangerous packaging to a type that is user-friendly? I would prefer to return to your battery vs. using a competitor's.

Terrible packaging-too difficult to remove battery

The new childproof and allegedly "senior " considerate battery packaging is a joke. They are almost impossible to cut with scissors. I'm 85 with good hand strength and dexterity. It takes several minutes to cut and extract a single battery. This is unacceptable! If I'm away from home without scissors, then I can't replace the battery even if I have a package with me! The plastic itself is very difficult to cut with ordinary scissors. It takes heavy duty scissors or a special "package cutting" device to cut them as suggested. Then the battery flips out of the packaging when you do get it opened, usually on the floor. Surely you can design something better and more convenient!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Horrible packaging

The recently changed packaging makes the 312 batteries almost impossible to open. Scissors have to be used to open and no good or clear instructions. The plastic packaging is tough and very difficult and dangerous to cut/open. Extremely difficult to open packaging. A person should not have to go find a pair of scissors just to perform what used to be a simple process to change batteries. The person who came up with this new packaging should be fired.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Senior proof packaging

Rayovac batteries are great , but the new packaging is terrible, being blind in one eye and joint problems having to get scissors to open them creates a real problem getting the batteries out to use. With no kids around making them child proof was a stupid idea, a high shelf works better and the older packaging was much easier on seniors. So now to taking a backup batteries with me I either have to take scissors with me or cut them out and put in a plastic bag to carry with me.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Terrible Packaging

I've used 312's for several years. I've felt like Ray o vac is a quality product at a good price with super convenient, easy to use packaging. Yesterday I bought my first 312's in the new packaging. Rayo vac, you've made a big marketing mistake! From easy to child (&adult) proof. I just spent 10 minutes opening the package and cutting out the hearing aids. What a pain. You really need to rethink the packaging. Such a big backward step compared to your original packaging. Please try again! I would only recommend the batteries not the packaging.

Total Disaster trying to open.

In your zeal to make Child Resistant packages, you have also made Senior Citizen resistant packages. They are pretty much impossible for me to get in to with my arthritic hands. Don't know why the VA is providing Child Resistant packages to senior citizens. Looks like I will have to buy a different brand of non child resistant packages.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Absolutely the worst packaging I've ever encounter

It is nearly impossible to get the batteries out of this packaging with cutting your fingers, breaking your scissors, and teaching your spouse a whole host of new curse words. I will never (purposely) buy these batteries again.
