Good luck getting a straight answer from the seller on this. I can tell you that I recently bought one of these and it was a really solid improvement over my old battery. Tough to compare because it's been 2.5 years since my original battery was new, but I don't think the new replacement is quite as good as the original when it was new.

That battery is not listed in the paper work I received with mine but I bought mine in 2012.

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.

Says "18 AH" on the side of the battery. I bought 2 last year about this time......by July they were both dead...forever. Your choice and your money. My opinion is they suck.

No manufacturing date on my batteries, probably hid in the serial number. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Mostly Chinese characters on the housing. I have long ago tossed the packaging if that had the date. I did find an 8 digit number in Arabic numerals....20090805. Whether that means it was produced August 5th of 2009 I don't know. I believe I've had this battery for the best part of two years with no issues.

The serial number doesn't conform with standard Motoralla serial numbers so I'm not able to tell you the date code. I can tell you i've had the battery for months and it works great, holds a charge well. It was virtually identical the the original battery I took out. No problems whatsoever with the battery. Much cheaper as well.

The outside box has no date on it. Each individual battery is marked with a "Best Before" date of March 2018. I purchased them January 16 2014, so it is a safe bet that current batteries will have a different date. For what it's worth; These batteries have exceeded my expectations. I have a number of wireless motion sensors that are in relatively high-traffic areas during the day. Previous batteries of another brand, always alkaline, never lasted more than about 5 months in those devices. These batteries, put into use January of 2014, are still going strong as of October 16 2014. The outside box has no date on it.

I bought two batteries at about the same time. One has a date of 2007 and the other has 2010. I don't know which seller was which, but both batteries have performed beautifully and were well worth the purchase.

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 ordered this battery on August 19, 2014. The terminals are bigger than the existing battery I was replacing. I contacted the seller on amazon and was informed I could not return this item since it was a battery.

yes, I bought mine from amazon in january 2013 and it was then the latest gen2 with ECR and has been flawless so far. came in factory sealed box that looked to be fresh from the factory. (mine was shipped and sold by amazon)(cant say about third party sellers). I wolud like to note that i ordered 10 replacement batteries from the Viridian web site thinking they would be the best and freshest (you know the ones with the fancy green casings that say Viridian), well Viridian sent me 10 skrink wrapped duracell batteries. wich they were fine and all but i could have got duracell cheaper and faster here on amazon. hope this helps. yes, I bought mine from amazon in january 2013 and it was then the latest gen2 with ECR and has been flawless so far. came in factory sealed box that looked to be fresh from the factory.

Contact manufacturer of battery and ask where and what code date they use for manufactur date.

The batteries i purchased does not have a manufacture date to my knowledge. At least i can't find a date. I will say the batteries hold a charge longer than the original. The original battery i was charging every night. The new battery about twice a week, sometimes once per week. The batteries are made in China, but what isn't.

I have checked on this. The code on the battery tells you the Date of Manufacturer. I.E. The battery I have in my hand has a code of 11234 that means it was manufactured in (20)11, on the 234 day of the year. Hope this helps.

I'm not really sure, the battery I received had a manufacture date on it. So far it seems to be working just fine. The batteries usually last for 2- 3 years tops , even with new laptops purchases.

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.
