Seriously, whoever created the child resistant packaging for these batteries needs to find another job. What used to take 10 seconds to access a battery for my hearing aids now takes about 10 minutes and only AFTER I retrieve the tool necessary to open the package. And it STILL isn’t easy!
Late 80's, rheumatoid arthritis, hearing aids for 30 yrs. You have got to be kidding about this new packaging!! Since they have to be kept separate, I will have my grandson open a few packages at a time, and store in weekly pill containers. That is another thing. How are we supposed to change them on the go with the new package???
Since the packaging has switched to "cut to open", I have so many issues retrieving my batteries. I work in a fast pace environment and struggling to cut open the packaging is not ideal. I am young and struggle with cutting it open to easily access the battery. Your main customers are older people who are going to struggle with this more than I am. Packaging needs to be reworked!
The Batteries are fine. The packaging is terrible.

As a long term user, senior citizen, with no kids in the house I find the packaging to be unusable as designed. I will not carry scissors and the battery pack with me when I go out. I find my Swiss Army Knife excellent for slipping into the thickness of the cardboard package, allowing me to separate it and remove all batteri3s at once. I can do that safely in about two minutes. I keep the loos3 batteries inside a small flat plastic pack designed to hold plastic toothpick thingies. There should be an option to purchase the old style rotary storage packs, just like you can have medicine in child-resistant or non-child-resistant packaging. I r3commend this product to a friend because all companies are forced to do the same kind of packaging by misguided federal legislation.
The new "child-resistant" packaging is also "senior resistant." I was unable to get more than a few batteries torn out of the package, even using scissors. I returned them for a refund. Please be "senior considerate" and return to accessible packaging.
We just used nail clippers, cuticle scissors and regular scissors to try to open the Rayovac 312 hearing aid batteries. I can't believe no blood was shed! Please find a better way to package these batteries.
The batteries may be fine, but the child resistant packaging? Who designed this? I am a younger hearing aid user and have fine dexterity. This packaging is atrocious and I'm sure many older adults will not be able to open it on their own. I always bring a pack with me wherever I go- batteries can die when I am running errands or out to dinner with friends. The packaging demands that one have a scissors with them to cut the hard plastic- no easy task and I have hurt myself on multiple occasions. Who always has a scissors with them? I will purchase another brand.
