Amazon Basics 60-Pack Hearing Aid Size 312 Zinc-Air Batteries, 1.45 Volt, Brown Tab, 4-Year Shelf Life, Child-Safe Package (Use Scissors to Open)

My usual batteries last for just over a week, so I always change them every 7 days. I thought I would give these Amazon Basics a try. I did not expect too much, if they lasted for 4 or 5 days then I would be happy. I am delighted to say that they lasted for my usual 7 days plus a bit with no fading. So I will continue to change my batteries every 7 days, but now at a greatly reduced price. I reckon 20 pence a week to power my hearing aids is an absolute bargain! Well done Amazon!

The batteries are fine. The new packaging is absolutely awful, it's so difficult to open (I'm a fit 37 year old so goodness knows how an older person would cope with it), and uses so much more plastic and takes up more space. I'm so unhappy with these and wish they were like the old wheel style packaging. If I need batteries when I'm out, I have to take scissors with me too to open them. An absolutely terrible redesign. Do not buy.

Good item and less cost than I have paid for alternatives. Agree with others the batteries are difficult to release from packs .So far batteries seem good value

These are the best batteries I've used. Last 7 days compared to Duracell at 5/6 days. Arrived with 3 years shelf life. Volts hold up almost to the end so don't alarm in my hearing aid for hours, sometimes a day, before they expire.

I was going to give this a reasonable review as the first pack I used seemed to be good value for money. Ridiculously difficult to open, but was willing to accept that for the price. However batteries in 2nd pack didn't work at all. I'll try the rest, but caveat emptor - they may turn out more expensive than you think. Pack that worked not as long lasting as normal price ones, but I probably won't buy again.

Batteries do the job just fine. The issue I have is the packaging, it’s awful!! Trying to get one out is a bit of a task so won’t buy again. I prefer the wheel type dispenser.

well worth the money as I cant always get to nhs hearing centre for replacement batteries, so I kill two birds with one stone I got batteries which will last me a good long while and I am saving the nhs extortionate prices they are charged so a big thank you.

The new packaging is very difficult to open. Each battery is held between 2 layers of very hard plastic which is nearly impossible to pry apart. I had to cut down 2 sides of each battery and even then it was virtually impossible to release. Absolutely not suitable for the elderly. I spent about 15 minutes opening 6 of them and decanting them into a pot to tide me over until the Rayovac replacements are delivered. These batteries are not just childproof. They are everyone proof!
