It seems from the Q &amp; A that a customer may be taking a chance on the batteries being near out of date. My Question: Can I know the date?

I could only tell by looking at an individual battery after I opened the package.

That is the expiration date. These batteries have a 10 year listed shelf life. If you just received some with a June 2012 date, I would recommend returning for a refund. The ones I got expire in 2022.

I haven't used it that much, so I really don't know. However, I suspect it somewhat. Hmm ... I noticed the build date was 3 years before I received the battery.

I ordered these batteries and I assure you, they were "fresh". The expiration date is in 2015. They are new batteries and they work great! I hope this helps....I was wondering the same thing, since they are less than half of what i can find them for locally :)

wow, i just now looked at what i got and mine had 12/17/2010. You better ask the seller if you are indeed going to get that kind of battery because they don't usually give you what is posted on the site. better be sure before buying.

I haven't had it long enough to replace the batteries. Generally, most electronic equipment holds information such as date / time for short periods when bateries are removed. If not, is easily reset through the menu sequence. Sorry unsble to be of more help. Tony

Hi Matthew. I see where you are going with this. I don't see an actual date on the battery itself. This info may be part of a serial number or another code. I am finding that the replacement battery is not holding a full charge the way I think it should. My opinion is that replacing the battery is simply a temporary solution. Every once in a while I get a message that the battery has less than 5-minutes backup left. This is not right! When I am faced with having to replace it again, I would very likely buy the whole assembly new. Hope this helps.

I bought them a couple of months ago. I don't see a date anywhere on them but there is a stamped number of "43" on the battery. All the batteries were fully charged and I did not have any defective ones. I have bought the same batteries before from these people with no regrets.

So am I! The date on the few batteries that I checked was 2020; six years from now. Duracells are guaranteed for 10 years -- when they are fresh. I wonder what the charge is on mine. Mine are going back due to misrepresentation.

Yes, there is a date on the batteries. Sometimes you can find them cheaper than others on a website, and perhaps this is because the expiration date is more limited in time.

These should last for 5 years. if someone in 2014 said they were dated 2019, that means that they are being sold 50% expired. I want to buy batteries to store for long term emergency use. Is there a way to get these batteries right after they were manufactured?

That date is SureFire's date of guaranteed useful life of the battery. Hope this helps.

Without getting into the technical aspects such as mAh charge capacity, discharge rate, number of cycles, etc. It really comes down to purchasing from a trusted vendor. I if the new battery doesn't hold a charge, it's most likely not a new battery. As for determining if the battery is "Fresh". These batteries are sometimes not charged until you first charge them.

I purchased one of these batteries September of last year and when you get them, they have a little sticker on them that tells you the make/refurbish date. Mine was made 08/13 so they are pretty new. The first available date was when this ad was first posted. These batteries don't exactly expire, and as long as the page says "In Stock" it is available. When companies make the ad they have to list a Quantity, so if they have 10 and sell 7 it will tell you. If they have over 100 or so it will not list the quantity, and they can add more to the stock as they get them. I can tell you I've not had a single issue with this item as of today, however optima does not cover the warranty. If you have any issues, you will have to go through amazon for replacements.

It is my understanding that the date code on the batteries are manufacturing dates. No expiration date. Week number/year, ex: 0813, the eight week of 2013.

You will not no when it was manufactured until you open up the box an look on the under side of the detector to see manufacture date. If you have concerns about the recalls or battery strength, I would not worry about that. My detector was made and sold with in less than the same year.
