This package is confoundingly difficutlt to open. It requires two tools to extract your product. A scissor and something to pry that nasty plastic open to release the battery. Oh and don't forget to be careful not to short out the connection if you use a metal tool. Way too difficult.
A good solid battery, which is why I have always trusted them for critical devices. However the latest super baby proof packaging is a bit much, is it really necessary for this level of protection. I would think the problem with children getting them in their hands starts AFTER the package is opened by an adult.
Congrats Duracell - you have successfully made a product in which it is impossible to access through your packaging. Who was in your Focus Group - Edward Scissorhands? Ridiculous!
I’ve been using these for years and your packaging continues to get worse. Please do something about this? In the process of getting a battery free for use, the dangers escalate. It’s just ridiculous at this point.
I have nothing to tell you about the battery - I just installed it in a remote control after getting home from the Emergency Room to have stitches after being injured trying to open the ridiculous packaging! This is beyond anything I've ever seen! Even with scissors, it was very difficult and left sharp, plastic pieces that would be much worse if a child were to get a hold of these. Are you listening, Duracell? Change the packaging!
Great packaging for my quick trip to the grocery store. Resisted tugging, pulling, twisting, teething, keys, an old exacto knife, and finally surrendered to scissors. Do not count on in an emergency, you will die before the packaging does.
