[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Up until recently I have been using Power One batteries, which last about 56-57 hours continuously. Then I purchased Rayovac batteries, that consistently gave me 72 hours. I am very impressed.
I’m sure there is some data that suggested the need for this sadistic packaging. It’s not worth a crap for a senior veteran with arthritis. Spend a great deal of time trying to cut through the thick plastic in silence as my battery has died.
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.
The new child resistant packaging is terrible , absolutely terrible for elderly people. And I am guessing that it is elderly folks who use your 312 hearing air batteries the most!! Please, please return to old 312 battery packaging..
The Rayovac size 312 hearing aids batteries, 6 per card, are a packaging nightmare! I agree with all of the other negative comments concerning packaging and will not repeat them here but consider them included here. I have tried all kinds of scissors with minimal success. Can you recommend a specific brand/style of scissors that will work? Are you planning to do anything to replace this packaging with one that is kinder and more user friendly? Like perhaps the previous PACKAGING?
I've purchased this battery a long time. battery is good new child-proof package is very poor. Hard to open especially away from home with no scissors. Go back to the drawing board!
