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)

(Updated June 2019) These hearing aid batteries are still "da bomb!". They are still working just like I described below - I am still averaging over 9 days per battery, so my FIVE STAR RATING??? I'd give them more stars if I could! If you wear hearing aids, please, do yourself a favor and try these! SO MUCH LESS EXPENSIVE than those in drug/grocery stores, even "discount stores"... and they last longer! Questions? Feel free to ask! I'm a happy customer!!!! (ORIGINAL REVIEW - and it is all STILL TRUE!!!!!) I have worn hearing aids for over half my life. Buying hearing aid (HA) batteries is a never-ending endeavor. /I've bought them from my audiologist's office but they are SO expensive, yet I require them in order to interact with my world. I've purchased them from my local drug store before in a pinch, and unless you can catch them on sale, again, SO expensive. A few months ago my husband bought some regular AmazonBasics batteries (AA, AAA, etc) and they lasted well, so I thought, "Why not?". My question now is "Why did I wait so long to try these???". My regular name brand batteries from the drug store or my audiologist last me exactly 7 days - rarely one might last 8 days. I just had to change one of my HA Batteries today. The last time I put one in was 10 days ago.... TEN. That's three days longer than the ones sitting in the drug store or audiologist's office shelves. The other battery (as I wear two aids, one in each ear) seems to still be going for me... but I'm thrilled with 10 days! These batteries are packaged in a little box that fits in my hand (pictures), and there are 10 packages of 6 (size 312) batteries. Other brands of batteries that are size 312 are color-coded with a brown header on the card holding the 6( or 8 or 12) batteries and peel off tabs on the back of the battery - these are color-coded in exactly the same way. Note: in case you didn't know, the peel-off tabs must not be removed until you are going to place them in your HA. Once the tab is removed the battery is activated. If you leave your batteries in a hot car, and the adhesive evaporates due to the heat, your batteries could be prematurely activated and go bad before you actually get to use them in your HA! Hearing Aids have an expiration date (these that I purchased recently are good through 11/2020). Y'all - I paid less than $14 for SIXTY hearing aid batteries. That's less than a QUARTER per battery!!!!! And it was delivered free with Prime! I didn't have to get dressed and drive into town to the store, mess with expiration dates, long lines to check out.... nope, nope, nope! I have spent as much as a DOLLAR PER BATTERY at the drug store !!!!!! The ones at my audiologist's office were less than that (about 80 cents per battery). Will I purchase these again? Ohhhhh, yeah! For sure I will! I'd be crazy not to! My purpose in reviewing this and other items is only to provide my honest opinion based on my experience with the item.

An update. I've now used these batteries for several months and I have found that several new batteries failed immediately after being inserted. I used to switch batteries in pairs as they pretty much wore out at the same speed. With these batteries, I've switched to replacing which ever one went dead at the moment because the other may last a day or two longer. I've lost several batteries because they fall out of the packaging and I didn't notice. I threw away a few because they never worked. While the initial purchase may have been a bit cheaper, these have become the most expensive batteries I've used. I'll never buy them again. Previous review: I bought these to replace PowerOne batteries that I have used for years. It is hard to know for sure but these batteries seem to last every bit as long as PowerOne and possibly a bit longer. For me, they last about 96 hours (6 days X 16 hrs/day). Of course usage varies a bit. The one drawback to the batteries is the peel-off tab. The tab is much smaller than the PowerOne batteries and is more difficult for old fingers to grasp and remove. Also the tab is on the bottom of the battery in its container and is harder to see. When I replace batteries, I put the used battery back in the container where the new battery was removed. Then later I recycle them. With PowerOne it as very easy to distinguish old batteries without the tab and new ones with the tab. Thus, I could easily tell when the package was fully used and I needed to replace it. With these batteries, since you can't easily see the pull-off tab, you can't tell how many batteries are unused. Functionally, the batteries are very good. The packaging however could be substantially improved. If the packaging were improved, these would be 5-star rated. In the picture I attached, both packages contain 2 used batteries and 4 new batteries. An update: I've now used these for a few months and I am changing my rating downward. I've come to dislike the packaging so much that I would not buy these again and I do not recommend them. If you carry the little pinwheel of batteries in your pocket, eventually the batteries will fall out of the package and given the size of each battery, you are likely to lose some of them. Removing the seal tab from each battery is much harder than with other batteries. With more experience now, I can say that these perform essentially the same as the PowerOne batteries that I previously used. The little bit of price savings is not worth the inconvenience of use.

The price is right! Batteries are like $12 a pack at a store! Sure the packaging is a bit crazy, a good sharp knife takes them out quite easy. I have a keychain battery holder that holds two so I just make sure to fill it when I use them.

I just finished my older battery supply and started using these. The ones issued by the hearing aid company last (on average) seven days. The new ones from Amazon are lasting at least eleven days. The only beef I have is getting them out of the package. Each one has to be cut out of the packaging. I have old ‘wheel’ dispensers I load them into.

Just like others have noted, a great price for batteries and they work well with my hearing aids. Unfortunately the packaging and the removal of the batteries to use them are horrendous. You need to cut them out to use them. There is no perforations or any easy out option. Additionally the actual cardboard packaging is large compared to other hearing aid batteries. As you can see lots of wasted space between batteries for no reason. Other than that they work as designed.

They are quite fiddly to get out of the packaging, but price outweighs that.

J’achetais une marque avant et celle ci tienne bien plus longtemps dans les appareils auditif je recommande pour le prix !

Gute batterien für den preis 1a Top halten genauso lange wie die von höhgerät akustiger Und die sind übertrieben teurer

I want to return the item because it is not fitting in the product

Kann bisher nichts Negatives schreiben, die Batterien sin günstig und gut, okay, einen kleinen Punkt habe ich doch, die Batterien sind etwas mühsam aus der Verpackung zu bekommen, das wars aber der einzige Kritikpunkt bisher!
