Question
Does Rayovac plan to use longer tabs on batteries? Many of my patients prefer the longer tab.
Answer
Rayovac introduced a longer tab about two years ago. At this time we do not have plans to increase the size of the tabs because they will not fit inside the dial. If we made the tabs bigger, we would have to make the cards bigger. Some consumers wouldn't like carrying a card the size of a computer disc. We try to have a balance between the size of the tabs and the cards. We believe we have come up with a fairly elegant solution with the longer tabs to help the patients use the batteries while at the same time keeping the card at a reasonable size.
