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.

Rayovac catering to PC rather than Consumer

I've used Rayovac 312's for quite a few years. If Rayovac is trying to get out of the hearing aid battery business; You have certainly taken a great first step. Even as a Senior, why would I have to take anywhere close to a minute to get a battery out of the packaging. There's a pair of scissors in the picture...a chainsaw would be a better description. Thank Goodness there's the Internet. Good Bye Rayovac 312's.

Poor Packaging

Who in the world designed the new packages of 312 batteries? "child resistant", also senior resistant, CNA resistant, LPN resistant, and RN resistant. Had to take the package to maintenance department and have it cut open with a rotary tool. I consider this REDICULOUS!! You had a good design where you rotate the batteries around to an opening, and simply drop the battery out. Who ever thought this new design was a good idea needs to have their employment with Rayovac reevaluated.
