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.

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 HISTORY Reese's Law was co-written and introduced in Congress by multiple representatives and senators and was named in honor of Reese Hamsmith. Congressional sponsors In 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 name Reese'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 passage The 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.

Good brand and there's a lot in the box. The container is extremely hard to open. I have to cut them. The scissors and it's still hard to remove but once I get them in my hearing aids they they work good be careful I cut my finger

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.

Batteries are good but very difficult to get out even for an adult

Practically impossible to open!!!! And I think the battery life is shorter than other brands that I’ve used

A very good price and does exactly what I need them for.

These are the last Rayovac batteries I will be buying. They made the package "Child Resistant" by removing all access to their product without a pair of hefty sharp scissors and a lot of work. The directions, if you can find them, say you need scissors and where to cut. However, the disc is reinforced. Instead of one minute to get my batteries it took 15. Instead of having an easy place to store and pocket the others I had to remove them all and find another way to organize. Why cut them all out? you ask. Because cutting even one battery out makes the package a tangled mess of sharp plastic and tiny shards of plastic to clean up. Then, hopefully, you have not damaged the batteries you spent all this time effort and money on. And when I need to replace these batteries, who knows if I will have scissors, a place to work on opening the pack and the extra time. Too bad, Rayovac makes the best hearing aid batteries. Now I will be using some other inferior brand. I wrote the above soon after receiving the package and before I knew about the battery industry's careless reaction to legislation regarding safety. Now my problem is compounded by the fact that I am finding a 75% failure rate in the batteries. Today I went through 7 batteries before finding 2 that work. It cost me over a half hour (letting the new batteries air for 3-5 minutes), the cost of the batteries purchased that gave me zero minutes of hearing aid use and the cost of cleaning supplies when I was hoping I had gotten something clogged in the channel. I am now wondering if I ever hear anything that is worth this much trouble. I am also feeling Rayovac has no regard for me as a consumer.

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
