You CAN’T be serious. It’s STILL A BLISTER PACK, and it STILL CONTAINS PLASTIC. Let’s actually go green when we say we’re going green, ok?

I agree with Mary. By looking at this picture & checking their website, this seems like a case of over packaging. Where is the sustainability when there is excess packaging for such a small item. Its larger than the already standard battery pack.It takes up a lot of space on the shelves, as soon as the consumer takes it home that large pack is just going into the trash, and hopefully in the recycling bin
