I've used Rayovac HA batteries for many years. The older packaging with the rotating wheel was great. The new packaging is not - requires one to cut into the plastic housing and squeeze out each battery. And one is left with a less than optimal container for holding the remaining batteries. I need to shop for an alternative it appears
This package is HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE. I'm a 79 year old that cannot get into the pagageing! Thankfully, my husband searched his tool box to find something that could make the cut you suggest. I will be contacting t Veteran admiration about this problem. I have no children.
Been using them for years and have to tell you it's the worst packaging idea I have seen. Child proof yes, arthritic hands, no. Your other packages were great. Will search for other supplier.
This is the worst packaging possible. I have "cut myself" twice from the packaging while trying to open them. I suggest that you get a sample group (older people) and have them try to get a battery when needed. Maybe you can change the packaging to something that is easy and safe.
New "child proof" is horrible. Knives won't cut, scissors certainly don't. I must use the tip of electrical pliers to cut the packaging, and small screw driver to then ply it apart I wouldn't recommend this to an enemy let alone a friend.
I’ve used ray o vac batteries now for the 10 years I’ve been wearing hearing aids and have found them to be as good as or better than all the other brands. My complaint is the new childproof packaging that has made them almost unusable unless I’m at home with tools available to get them out. Please redesign the packaging so I’m able to use them without carrying a hardware store along with me.
