Rayovac Extra hearing aid batteries size 312. Long-lasting mercury-free zinc-air hearing aid batteries - 1.45v. (60 batteries)

The hearing aid batteries are great but I don't like the child protection package they come in. They are very hard for seniors to open. If children were to come they are always put away in a drawer. I believe I ordered the regular package but came as child protected.

DO not buy. It is now impossible to remove batteries from the package. I have purchased this brand many times and in the past, there was a resealable flap in the back to remove the batteries. This has now been removed and there is a graphic to cut them out with a scissor. But good luck with that. The package is stronger than my best scissor. And unfortunately I discovered this 12 days after the return period expired. I will be throwing the entire shipment in the trash and have to buy another brand.Edit to this post...This problem is due to a ridiculous law called Reese's Law. Apparently an 18 month old named Reese swallowed a coin cell and died. So Congress and Biden enacted "Reese's law," requiring all coin and button cells to be in child proof packaging requiring tools to open and included hearing aid batteries. Unfortunately, child proof packages are also senior proof packages and most hearing aids are used by seniors. I'd write to my congressman but he's one of the dummies who sponsored it. I don't have a solution but all brands now seen to be in these new "legal" packages. Thanks, congress.

Work Great for hearing Aids, and a lot cheaper than what you can buy at retail stores.

Good deal

Difficult to open.

This is my third time buying these batteries. I enjoy the fact that they will last for one whole week. Each 6 pack wheel, will last me 3 weeks. I insert my aids in usually early, around 7-7:30 am, and put them away in the late evening.

The Reese's Law was meant to save childrens lives from swallowing a coin battery; however, the law's implementation had unintended consequences for Seniors wearing removeable battery hearing aids.Seniors cannot cut open the new hearing aid packaging. All you need to do is look on Youtube for Rayovac explaination for how to cut open the new package or lookup other Amazon reviews under Rayovac 312 hearing aid batteries or other brands, where you see similar comments regarding package issues.Some say don't buy the brand. The option is to import batteries from Germany at 25% higher cost with no child proof packaging.Many say with the sharpest scissors and good hand strength, you cannot cut the packaging plastic to remove a battery. That was my experience and sore hands.Let alone the risk of cutting your hand on the sharp plastic or by the scissors.Seniors with health issues, like poor hand strength, frozen arthritis joints or low vision, are suffering from this packaging implementation.It is 3 years since the bill was passed. Current inventory now has the new packaging. Likely it will be another 3 years after a law exception or new law revision to get a package change in place because manufacturers have retooled to produce the new packaging.I use 60 batteries in 3 months. My hearing aides stream sound to my cell phone, tablet, notebook, zoom meeting sound, alarm clock and tv.Rayovac could have used thinner plastic to make the enclosed batteries. It appears the only real change was hot pressing a dimple seal in the package.I did attempt to cut off the battery sides like I was instructed by Rayovac customer service. But you cannot cut deep enough into the plastic to allow the battery to slip out like on Rayovacs video.I was able to slide a flat screw driver between the case sides and gap the case enough to pull out the battery.I bought a waterproof case that holds 32 batteries. My new normal.Perhaps it is time to raise our Senior voices to Congress and Rayovac.REESE'S LAW HISTORYReese's Law was co-written and introduced in Congress by multiple representatives and senators and was named in honor of Reese Hamsmith.Congressional sponsorsIn the House of Representatives, the bill (H.R. 5313) was co-led by Representatives Robin Kelly (D-IL), Jodey Arrington (R-TX), and Ted Lieu (D-CA).In the Senate, a companion bill (S. 3278) was introduced by Senators Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) and Marsha Blackburn (R-TN).The person behind the law's nameReese's Law is named for Reese Hamsmith, an 18-month-old who died in 2020 after swallowing a button-cell battery. Following her daughter's death, Trista Hamsmith began advocating for stricter battery safety standards and founded the organization Reese's Purpose.The bill's passageThe final legislation passed Congress and was signed into law by President Biden on August 16, 2022.It mandates new safety requirements for button and coin-cell batteries and products that contain them, to prevent accidental ingestion by children.

The batteries are fine but I thought I ordered the easy open package but I received the child proof packaging. Very difficult for someone with arthritis in the hands to open. I’ll have to be more careful next time I order.

Very good, could last longer

Perfecto

Las compro por la relación precio/calidad, pero ODIO ese empaque contra niños, es más fácil que la batería salga volando porque está tan duro que hasta con las tijeras es difícil cortarlo.. 😡

El producto llego bien y a tiempo
