So far, the batteries last a little longer (2days) than the previous brand I was using, and cost half as much. The issue I have is the packaging, which, the way, is the same as the new packaging being used by my previous brand of hearing aid batteries. It is difficult to remove the batteries from package. One really needs a pair of scissors to cut the package. If a person wanted to take a chance of being stabbed, he or she could use a knife to cut the package closure tabs in order to remove a new battery.

I’m giving this product three stars because it’s almost impossible to get the batteries out. The change in packaging requires scissors to cut out. You then have to get the scissors between the sturdy top and bottom to open the sealed plastic and pop the batteries out. The batteries themselves are a great price and they last almost a week.

Great price but horrible packaging. The old packaging was amazing and easy to use. The new packaging can cause problems especially if your older, since scissors and the plastic is difficult to cut. Wish the old card board packaging would come back.

The batteries are fine, but the packaging is horrible!!

this is the absolute worse packaging I have ever seen, this needs redesigned! sharp plastic and hands are not a good combination specially for the elderly or kids, definitely a safety issue.

New packaging is bad. It is very difficult to get batteries out. I understand that this was done to make it child safe. It also makes it very hard for older people (hint: no small children) to use. I have to use scissors to take the batteries out then keep them in a non child safe box to use when needed away from home. Defeats the purpose of the new regulation!

Pain in the butt to open each battery, will not buy this one again please go back to the old way! Or provide the old packaging for those who dont have kids. I do not want to have to find a cutting instrument every time i want to replace a battery just to get a battery out of the packing

I have bought members Mark batteries before but not in this packaging. I will never buy these again. They claim they are child proof but they are also very much adult proof. I have yet to figure out an easy way to get at the batteries and I intend to go back to Sam’s and ask them to show me

Child proof packaging is ridiculously difficult to open. There have to be other options for packaging that will prevent toddlers from opening and allow adults to open without tin snips.

Decent quality, but, you cannot get them out of the packaging.
