PowermaxSize 312 Hearing Aid Batteries, 60 Count Long-Lasting Battery Pack, Brown Long Tab for Easy Change

mi esposo la pidio para mi suegra que usa audifonos para la sordera , la pila dura mucho mas que la que compramos anteriormente es un exito total !

So, I ordered a new bundle of 60 hearing aid batteries as we do every few months. Batteries seem fine and last average length. HOWEVER, these are the first ones where I've been subjected to the NEW CHILD RESISTANT PACKAGING that it seems all hearing aid batteries will now require. Looking a bit on line, I found out about REESE'S LAW. Reese was a young child who died a few years ago after swallowing a button battery.There IS EVEN A VIDEO on this item's page from the manufacturer depicting the "intended" (alleged?) way to open this new lock-tite plastic packaging that now wraps all the batteries I suspect sold in the US, that were manufactured after a certain date. However, I could not succeed in "sliding out" a battery as shown in the video. LOL. I looked at several other brands online here and they all seem to now sport this packaging.So, it will be useful to start carrying scissors around with you, or pre-open a package and place a six-pack into another container for car, backpack, or purse for when you need to change batts when on the go out and about.I'm all for protecting children from harm and am sorry for Reese and his family, but think the hearing aid battery industry needs to come up with a better solution for child-proofing than this unusable hard-plastic shell design. Photo shows the package butchering needed to extract 6 batteries!========= REESE'S LAW SUMMARY of CRP (Child Resistant Packaging) ========- How New Hearing Aid Battery Packaging May Affect YouWhile hearing aid battery packaging may appear the same or slightly altered, they no longer open as before. The CRP design requires you to cut each battery out of its packaging individually instead of opening the entire pack at once.That could prove difficult if you have dexterity problems, joint issues or arthritis. It can also make it tricky to replace disposable batteries on the go since you’ll have to coordinate different moving parts. It’s helpful to practice opening the new packaging so you can access them when necessary.Don’t shy away from asking for assistance when opening those packages. Ask a loved one to open several of them at a time so you have easily accessible replacements. Some manufacturers make battery caddies to separate batteries and reduce the risk of shortening their lifespan.

Any product that includes directions on how to open a package has a big problem!! Person mush use a scissors to cut along the dotted line (which is incorrectly placed); and then a knife or screwdriver to pry each battery out. The whole process must be repeated for each and every battery.

I ordered this product and received 9 packages of the 10 that should have been delivered, I've never had a problem before!

Good Product

Make sure you have some very sturdy shears to open the package these batteries come in. I am not strong enough to cut through its thick vinyl so my husband accepted the challenge. He broke a pair of scissors trying to cut the package open. And his trusty pocket knife didn't cut it. Finally, a pair of Fiskars garden shears came to the rescue. He cut the package open one battery at a time and removed the batteries one at a time (and it took a lot of time!) and placed them in a small container. All companies are now required to use this child (and adult) proof packaging. There's got to be a better way than this!! It's frustrating and not safe! I gave these a 4 because of the packaging.

I usually buy the Amazon Basics batteries, but they've been out of stock for a while, so these were the next best thing in terms of price and reviews. I should have listened to the reviews that said the packaging was horrible, but I thought - how bad could it really be? The answer is very, very bad. As the mom of a toddler, I understand the importance of keeping these kinds of batteries out of reach of children. I know how dangerous it can be if a child swallows one. However, child resistant packaging should not mean the packaging is nearly impossible to open.You can see in my photos that the packaging requires scissors to cut around the edge to free the battery. It is not an easy cut. I am 33 years old and my hands work just fine, yet cutting out the batteries was obnoxiously difficult. Furthermore, I'm often changing out my hearing aid batteries on the go. I don't want to store a pair of scissors in my purse to cut out a battery every time I need a change. That's absurd. And, arguably, LESS safe for my toddler if he rifles through my purse and finds a pair of scissors in there!Powermax needs to go back to the drawing board with this product and find a way to have child-resistant packaging that can still allow for on the go battery changes that don't leave me with cramping hands after. I ended up spending a good 15-20 minutes cutting all the batteries out of this packaging and put them into a childproof medicine bottle. It's not the best solution by any means, and I'm not sure if this will have a negative impact on the battery life, but it's the only reasonable option.I'm going to look into finding more secure childproof containers that I can use for storing these batteries, particularly smaller ones that I can store in my purse for on the go. There's probably a special irony that the child resistant packaging actually makes this product less safe, because I'm sure I'm not the only one who had to find a more reasonable workaround. This packaging certainly gives me extra incentive to go for a rechargeable hearing aid when I'm due for a new one, because I am not willing to deal with this packaging headache long term. In the meantime, I hope other brands have more sensible packaging.
