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.

These batteries may not be better than others, but they work well and are economical.

These have a lower price than other brand names and work well for me. They last about a week for me. Easy open package too.

These are a good price but do not last as long as name brand.

Decided along time ago that when working in the field, batteries made more sense then looking for a charger. Batteries die sooner or later. I keep these in my hearing aid pouch. Longlasting,energizes quickly and economical.

The had these batteries in for 5 days when one hearing aid beeped low battery. No problem, 5 days is fair, however when I opened it, everything was covered in battery acid. It was not like that in the morning when I closed the battery compartment, so it happened pretty fast, between 8am and 11 am. No warning sign. I contacted customer service who did not seem to grasp the severity of the situation. They offered to replace them, no thank you. Told me they would refund me and I didn't need to send them back.. thanks since I don't see the point in either of us wasting our time on a faulty product (I had already sent pictures at their request) and I sincerely hope they would not try to pass them off to someone else. Then they told me I could keep, donate, or dispose. I get that they are given prompts to read but sometimes you need to understand what the customer is reporting and make adjustments as necessary! On the refund confirmation email, they put the reason for refund was the product was damaged in shipping. Um, no it wasn't. They were fine day 1 - 4. Getting battery acid in your ear is dangerous and having inside your hearing aid can cause damage as well. Very disappointed with how this was handled. Quality controls need to be reviewed because clearly this is not normal!

One major problem with otherwise excellent batteries. They are IMPOSSIBLE to get out of the packaging. Is there a secret I have not discovered?

Theses are the worst batteries I have ever bought. I had to return them. Every other one was bad as soon as I put it in my hearing aid had to put another right afterI gave a 5 so everyone will see this.
