I appeciate the great price, but not the packaging

I am & have been a regular purchaser of 312 hearing aid batteries for several years. The new child resistant packaging is unacceptable. Even with scissors it is almost impossible to open to get a battery out. My scissors can barely cut through all the heavy plastic. I would need commercial scissors to cur through it. I will be forced to return to buying Eveready batteries if you continue to use this terrible packaging. I'm a healthy 92 year old female who admittedly has lost some of the strength in my hands, but I am able to accomplish all other tasks required in my household. Please revert to the other more accessible packaging you used before. I can't imagine any child being able to get into them. Keep batteries of all kinds & sizes out of reach of children should be the rule. Tank you for reading my complaints.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Packaging design is terrible

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.

If you're old with arthritic hands like me, the new child resistant packaging flat out sucks.

Sadistic Packaging II

As a senior with four years experience with hearing aids using 312 batteries, I found the "old" packaging convenient. Now the requirement to use scissors is a non-starter for many venues where battery replacement might occur. Symphony, theater, airplane in flight (TSA will not allow scissors) are impossible to now deal with with the current packaging. We are not stupid however, and will remove the batteries from the new packaging and recycle the old packaging to enable us to continue our lives unencumbered by progress while we endanger the kids in our lives! The packaging engineers can do a much better job than the current edition of 312 batteries.

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.

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!

Packing Problem Only

I've used only your brand of batteries since I began wearing a hearing aid about five years ago. The batteries are consistently working well.
However, it's your recent change in packaging that is driving me away...to a different brand.
The rigid plastic packaging is impossible to cut through with a scissors. If one's hands are strong enough to use the scissors on that plastic, it's almost impossible to separate the two pieces. The plastic is sharp (especially once cut with the scissors) and slices into a user's skin and can cause bleeding, which can be dangerous to an elderly person on blood thinners.
Is there any chance that you will change this dangerous packaging to a type that is user-friendly? I would prefer to return to your battery vs. using a competitor's.
