These batteries work great, and are a fraction of what you would pay with the name brand ones. To those of you complaining about the packaging. ALL battery manufacturers have this type of packaging now due to some kid swallowing a battery. From my experience, these are one of the easier packages to open.

Horrible design! A person with arthritis would not be able to open the package. You need to use scissors to get the package open.

There were a high percentage of dead batteries in our package of 48. Fifteen of them dead before I returned them. Packaging is terribly hard to open by older people who have limited dexterity. All around terrible product.

These say child proof, but they are adult impossible. Package looked the same as the Energizers the club previously carried, which an adult could open easily while out and about. These are impossible to open by hand, and instruct you to cut a pie shape with scissors to get one out, which I couldn't do with my very sharp scissors, and my husband had to do. We were left with a very sharp piece of plastic. I usually don't carry scissors (or tin snips) with me. Hope when the person who came up with this is older and wearing hearing aids, there are more intelligent people employed in the engineering packaging departments.

Not sure who the knuckle head was that designed the bullet proof from humans child safety that you need to carry a box cutter or a pair of scissors with you all the time, great price, good batteries but poor packaging, like everybody else says, too much trouble, I returned them in spite of the great price.

These batteries may be very good if you can figure out a way to get them out of the packaging. Your last Members Mark effort with the paper backing was stupid. The packaging on these Members Mark batteries is insane. Forget the scissors. I had to use a utility knife and two pair of plyers. Did any one think to look at how Eveready or Duracell does packaging. The only reason you got a 1 was because 0 wasn't available!

I agree with the others about the extreme difficulty opening these. They do look similar to the Energizer battery packaging, but are not. The prior packaging was poor for this brand, but these are dangerous leaving sharp edges. Takes heavy duty scissors and a screwdriver to pry out. Do not recommend.

Too hard to get from packaging

Very hard to get them out. Every cell needs to be cut out individually which is a huge hassel

The majority of the batteries dont work at all.
