Bought a 2-pack of this battery for my hearing aids. Advertised as child resistant but is actually adult resistant. I am an 85 year old woman who is not a weakling. I am going back to Duracell. Much easier to access the batteries.
I do not like the new packaging. It would be inconvenient if I was in a situation where I did not have immediate access to scissors to cut the packaging.
I Recently bought the newer version of the child resistant package of 312 hearing aid batteries. I checked on YouTube on how to cut open the package. Tried to cut open the package and found it extremely hard to cut due to arthritis in my hand. The packaging needs to be redesign for people like me. Will not buy this product again until they redesign their child/senior resistant packaging
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just received a new order of batteries from the VA. Your child resistant package is is also 78 y/o Veteran resistant to. It took me almost 10 mins to release 6 battery’s. The second batch was a little easier. I took a drill and drilled out those 6 dimples. If I want to keep extra battery’s in my car or my friends car I need to pre release some from the packaging. No way could I open the packaging on the road or on a trip. You really need to package some battery’s that us old folks can get in to. Think about the 60 or 70 y/o lady who lives alone. Think she could get that battery out. I know you’ll say the battery’s area chocking hazard. But . . . So are M&Ms, so are cough drops, so are peanuts. As to would I recommend this product to a friend, no, not in this packaging.
i get my batteries from the veterans administration the batteries are the 312 hearing aids this time with the child resistant packaging,i tried to open the packaging and it was so bad a person trying to open the package without special tools cannot be done,the product needs to be review and tried before senting out new ones
I recently bought a package of 24, size 312 batteries. Batteries are okay, but the "child safe" packaging is a nightmare. The plastic is too hard to cut with scissors. I had to resort to needle nose pliers to open the package. Once finally in, the seals on the batteries have been made smaller which is more difficult for senior, arthritic hands. Very frustrating and discouraging!
I receive my batteries through the VA. so i have no choice but to use what I am given. This new package is NUTS. Please redesign it so we can actually use the batteries.
