Terrible packaging-too difficult to remove battery
on September 5, 2025

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
on August 28, 2025

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.

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.

Last 15 hours longer than Power One

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Up until recently I have been using Power One batteries, which last about 56-57 hours continuously. Then I purchased Rayovac batteries, that consistently gave me 72 hours. I am very impressed.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Packaging challenging for senior with arthritis
on August 14, 2025

I’m sure there is some data that suggested the need for this sadistic packaging. It’s not worth a crap for a senior veteran with arthritis. Spend a great deal of time trying to cut through the thick plastic in silence as my battery has died.
