Good batteries, rough packaging. Very hard to get individual batteries free from packaging. Had to use scissors and really work to get each battery out. Ended up taking all the batteries out (took at least 1 hour) and put them in a container. Not convenient for taking in my purse. Good batteries but probably will not buy again.

The batteries serve the purpose but the packaging is absolutely horrible. Even with heavy duty scissors the cardboard if very tough and I'm not even that old and weak yet. These are batteries primarily used by the elderly for hearing aides. I recognized they have to be contained separately but there has to be a better way to accomplish that without requiring extreme strength.

The packaging makes it extremely difficult to get the batteries out..hard to manage. The previous packaging was perfect. Why change?

I am not pleased with these batteries as they do not last as long as the Energizer batteries. I was very disappointed that you no longer carry the other batteries.

Batteries are batteries so these are as good as any...however, the packaging is a tremendous headache. I can not see any way to remove each one without some struggle and scissors.

They are horrible to get the batteries out of packaging! I use scissors, bend cardboard and struggle getting batteries out each time Please get new way packing company! Only reason I keep using them they are cheaper to buy!

I cannot get them out of the package. Lord help me if I am out without sissors or a knife!! In my opinion they don't have a long life span, but I do use bluetooth so that might be my fault.

Good luck opening the package and getting the batteries out. I have arthritis in my hands and this packaging is impossible! You have to have a sharp pair of scissors and cut the battery card to expose the layer of cardboard and plastic. Then you take a razor blade to separate the plastic and the cardboard. Not worth it to save a few cents.

My 3 year old daughter wears hearing aids and we always use Energizer and they always last 5-7 days so when I saw these for the price, I thought WHY NOT? Well, these literally last 2 days. Meaning that I have to change her batteries every other day. Definitely not worth it.

In this household are two adults (and no children) with concerns about the protective packaging in new “child resistant packaging”configuration. Specifically - we both have finger/hand dexterity issues. - we also have hearing loss issues. - the manual force that it takes to cut open a plastic and cardboard is extremely intense, and frustratingly upsetting. - the area that the instructions say to cut is so small and almost impossible to cut. - Various cuts in the plastic and cardboard still present a challenge to pry the batteries out. - Trying to cut the container results in sharp plastic shards (SEE ATTACHED PHOTOS) that not only small children could eat, but also pets, and if one does not wear protective EYE glasses, some of those sharp, plastic pieces could blind someone (ME). - this “solution” from the child dying in 2022 does not resolve how the “adult“ disposes of the batteries AFTER wearing them. - the hearing aid solution still does not absolve the “adult/parent” from their responsibility to have a safe environment for their child and by keeping small objects (paper clips, thumbtacks, screws, coins, and the list goes on and on) out of the reach of the child. - and for those who need to have a back-up battery in one’s possession when away from home and the first one has no more power, and having a pair of scissors in one’s pocket, is not common nor practical. - and for an individual to PRE-cut several at one time actually exacerbates the problem by having multiple choking objects nearby. Therefore we are now caught between a rock and a hard place as a consumer! I also understand the predicament you were forced to be in under the Reese law. Although that law seems to ignore people in our situation. SOLUTION: take this back to the lawmakers and allow battery makers to provide BOTH packaging options. Not everyone who has hearing challenges have small children in the house. It appears to have been over regulated. It is the parents’ responsibility to take care of and train small children as appropriate. Oh and by the way, train them not to play in the street! I realize whoever gets this email can probably delete it instead of responding or forwarding these comments from disgruntled customers of Sam's Club to the other powers who make these decisions.
