Terrible to Open

I bought the child proof packaging and took fifteen minutes to extract one battery out of the package. They are not senior friendly.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

"easy for seniors to open"???
Is this some kind of joke.?
I used to open your "old school" batteries with no problem.
Now its such a challenge I'll try another brand

Child safe, also senior safe!

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!

Senior Resistant Packaging Too!!

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

DANGEROUS Packaging
on March 30, 2025
Posted by: Anita Sue

My husband recently purchased the 312 batteries and commented he could no longer open the packaging. While he was searching YouTube for opening instructions, I went after the plastic with tools. The “open with scissors” comment on the package definitely overestimates its simplicity. First I tried to pry it open with a screwdriver. That was a tough one and a slip would have meant a nice gouge in my palm. Secondly, I opted for the scissors but the thick plastic probably ruined them. With a lot of strength, I cut it into pie-shaped pieces and released the batteries by separating at the sharp points, another dangerous step. The batteries flew out several times but I finally put them all into plastic bags to be carried in my husband’s pockets or easily accessed by children. What an ordeal! We just spent a lovely evening focusing on those darn chil-resistant packages. We can’t wait to finish these so we can buy from a different manufacturer that tests their products on the target consumer group.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Cannot open new style

Worst package ever. I am 84 and used 312 battery for about 20 years. New six packs are impossible to open. Show state they are senior proof instead of child proof.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

the most stupid packaging I have every seened

New packaging you have to have a pair of scissors with you at all time. I use 6 to 7 batteries a week I have to replace every 3 to 4 days. Your packaging engineered are a joke. I asked 3 adults to try to open they could not without losing a finger and using an box cutter. I bought 198 batteries so they would last 6 months or so I am going to trash your batteries and purchase another brand that I can carry a package in my pocket and change batteries when they go dead in the doctors, dentist. restaurant, or visiting friends home and I have borrow a pair of scissors from the doctor, dentist etc.
Piece of junk
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Packaging Nightmare
on April 26, 2025
Posted by: vickier
from Florida
Gender:Female
The new packaging is very disappointing, a true nightmare to access the batteries! I have been wearing hearing aids for thirty years and have always relied on the Rayovac for the best reliability in a battery. Recently, I made a purchase and was shocked to experience how incredibly difficult it was to open the package. I cut myself on the plastic! Also, how inconvenient for travel. I always carry spares with me and now I need to open all of the batteries in advance of use and risk the plastic tab falling off in my bag. I understand that child safety is the issue here, but I am sixty-six years of age and struggle with this packaging. I can only imagine what older people with arthritic hands are experiencing. Please, re-think this design for a better solution to safety. I appreciate your attention to this matter.
