Sadistic Packaging

I had a new box of 312 10 packs. My father in law was visiting and needed some batteries. I handed him one of these new packs and he was totally unable to get it open, Now it was my turn to try. It was awful. I have good use of both hands and was using kitchen shears. I had not imagined something so poorly designed.
What if I had arthritis and poor vision? All I have to say here is that the product development people and admistrators who supervised this unholy packaging have totally failed their customer base. I for one will not purchase any more of their products.

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Absolutely Terrible Packaging

Review is for Hearing Aid 312 and Child Resistant Packaging.
While I have no issue with the batteries the Child Resistant Packaging for Senior is Absolutely Terrible. It takes a lot of effort and Great Scissors to cut the area for the batteries then a screwdriver to separate the packaging for the batteries as I have no fingernails. I will never buy this kind of packaging again. If I could I would rate this packaging a Minus 10.

Packaging change

Batteries are received through the VA. Until the recent order was received, getting individual batteries out of their case was easy. The "new and improved" version put an end to that. It now seems necessary to have a full array of tools handy to open up each compartment. It ain't easy anymore. The term "Child Resistant Packaging" should be amended to read "People Resistant". Think of the majority of hearing aid users -- seniors would logically fall into that category. And consider many of those seniors have visual problems, coordination difficulties, disabilities that make opening the case nearly impossible, or requiring help. Child Resistant? Considering that seniors typically don't have children living with them, is this ironclad packaging realliy necessary? Shouldn't there be an option? Hearing loss or impairment is difficult enough in itself. Now manufacturers are compounding the problem. Yes, some folks are fortunate enough to have young grandchildren visiting but they too grow up. I'm guessing the reason for Ray-O-Vac advertising their batteries last longer than competitors' goods is because people won't be able to get them out of the package to use them. My vote is for reverting to previously used packaging, or provide an option!!! As for the batteries themselves, they seem to be up to the job.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Packaging too hard to open (even with scissors)

I have been using ray o vac 312’s for years, but I no longer can. New packaging impossible to open without scissors (VERY hard even WITH scissors). I don’t carry scissors with me everywhere I go. I can’t even get them open with a pocket knife. (And scissors are dangerous for children, also) Please let me know when/ if you resolve this issue- meanwhile, I have to switch to a different brand.

Ok! What’s the secret to opening the package?

Regardless the banner claiming seniors can open the package in under a minute it cannot be done without a tool and strong hands. Does the company sell a cutting tool? Or, did they assume you carry heavy scissors with you everywhere you may go? Furthermore, I don’t think the batteries last as long as they once did. Change the package!

Worst packaging ever

I don't know why you make a package that cannot be opened without specialized tools. I tried two scissors and a screw driver but I hate to think I have to do every time I want a new battery

Terrible packaging

Bought the 312 hearing aid batteries with “child resistant packaging”. Worst packaging ever for senior users. Scissors don’t begin to cut it. Had to find heavy duty shears to open it. Saying that most users can open it in less than a minute is a joke. I can open every other hearing aid battery package in a couple of seconds with no tools. I’m done with Rayovac batteries.
