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.

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.

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.

Very poor packaging

I just purchased a 24 pack of #312 Hearing Aid Batteries. While I really like the batteries, the new packaging they come in is the poorest design I have ever experienced. Whoever designed this packaging should be fired! You need scissors to open the package! How many people carry around a pair of scissors to open their battery packaging? What about
people with disabilities? How are they going to get the packaging open? It's not only child proof, it's also adult proof. This is the worst of the worst. Surely you can do better than this.

Batteries are absolutely awful to access!

Efforts to CHILDPROOF is effective, however accessing the batteries is very difficult for users even using sissors! I wind up using a screwdriver to open the package. I carry spare batteries with me at all times however I cannot carry sissors with me especially when going through TSA checkpoints. Design a user-friendly accessable package,
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
