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.

I appeciate the great price, but not the packaging

I am & have been a regular purchaser of 312 hearing aid batteries for several years. The new child resistant packaging is unacceptable. Even with scissors it is almost impossible to open to get a battery out. My scissors can barely cut through all the heavy plastic. I would need commercial scissors to cur through it. I will be forced to return to buying Eveready batteries if you continue to use this terrible packaging. I'm a healthy 92 year old female who admittedly has lost some of the strength in my hands, but I am able to accomplish all other tasks required in my household. Please revert to the other more accessible packaging you used before. I can't imagine any child being able to get into them. Keep batteries of all kinds & sizes out of reach of children should be the rule. Tank you for reading my complaints.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

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.

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.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

BRING BACK ORIGINAL PACKAGING!

The package is ridiculous!!! Takes 5 minutes to get one out even with scissors. It doesn't cut easily, then you end up prying it with the scissors which is dangerous. Why is this even a thing now? Just keep your children away from things they shouldn't have. My son hit his head on a coffee table, should we ban those?
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Packaging Nightmare
on April 26, 2025
Posted by: vickier

The new packaging is very disappointing, a true nightmare to access the batteries! I have been wearing hearing aids for thirty years and have always relied on the Rayovac for the best reliability in a battery. Recently, I made a purchase and was shocked to experience how incredibly difficult it was to open the package. I cut myself on the plastic! Also, how inconvenient for travel. I always carry spares with me and now I need to open all of the batteries in advance of use and risk the plastic tab falling off in my bag. I understand that child safety is the issue here, but I am sixty-six years of age and struggle with this packaging. I can only imagine what older people with arthritic hands are experiencing. Please, re-think this design for a better solution to safety. I appreciate your attention to this matter.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The packaging is hard for elderly people to open. Why did you do this? The batteries fly out of the package when I cut into the package, following directions.

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.
