Rayovac Size 13 Hearing Aid Batteries, 16-Pack L13ZA-16ZMB

This new packaging is super difficult to open! Using scissors you must cut thru that hard plastic and then pry the hard plastic apart so the battery will fall out. Directions were not very clear, so I may have not done it correctly, but WOW! Awful package! But batteries have a good life/usage.

Opening your new packaging requires a scissors which not everyone carries with them when away from home. I am a senior and it is frustrating trying to cut the rigid plastic to get to the batteries. I could not find the 312 batteries in the original pack.

Most of my battery changes are done in situations or locations I do not have access to scissors. I need to change batteries from my pocket with a minimum of fuss and quickly.. Pre-cutting the package dumps loose batteries in my pocket. I also cannot put used batteries back in the package for proper disposal.

I just received my child resistant packing batteries size 13. This packaging is absolutely horrible. It requires you to use a pair of scissors to open, that is okay if your setting at a desk at home with scissors available. What happens if I am away from home? I must now carry a pair of scissors in my pocket every where I go? I am never around small kids like most of us seniors who are the primary users of these hearing ad batteries. This package is crazy. I plan to notify my battery provider VA and recommend that they change to a more usable package for seniors.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received your batteries from the VA and am very disappointed by the child-proof packaging. It is not easy to get then batteries out of the package and the old style was far easier to employ. Is there anyway to simplify the unloading process? The child-proof packaging is commendable, but not easy for me at age 94.
