I bought my 1st box of 100 a month ago and they have been working just great. I did notice that they have a Chinese marking on them but so don't the batterys that I bought from rite aid. I think they are genuine Duracell Coppertop they look and work like they are. I just bought a nother box of the AAA and AA's and they are good till 2023. So to answer your question I would say yes they are.

They are the real thing. Mine were made in 2014 & don't expire until 2020. Hope this helps.

They are genuine Duracell Coppertop "alkaline" cells. They are made in China for Duracell. It seems we in the US no can longer make anything. Most everything today comes from China. What a shame.

same battery packaged for different market - just be sure the copper top you are looking at is a USA made version, The china version is not the same.

The markings on the battery compared with the one that came with the camera are identical. I have no reason to believe that the purchased one is not genuine.

Clones, not counterfeits. It's just like when other companies besides IBM started making PCs. They do the same thing as the originals and have the same specs. My wife uses them in her camera. We just came back from a week's vacation, and the battery worked flawlessly.

I read a lot of comments after buying the batteries that there seem to be quite a lot of counterfeit ones. Mine seem to be original. On top of the battery description (CR2032 in orange) the blister is "raised. For me they appear original. Hope that they are!

personally I feel Duracell are a better and long lasting battery, I have only had the Duracell charger and batteries about a month now and after a full charge I haven't had to recharge the batteries yet although I only have them in my tv remotes and game controllers

They are labeled Crucial and preform well. Doubt they are counterfeit as Amazon would not knowingly allow their sale. Manufacturers often prefer not to compete with their dealers who often generate large sales volumes.

I bought two of this battery about one year ago. I am convinced that the batteries I received are true Canon batteries. The two that I ordered came from "Kellards" and that reseller's price is substantially higher than the posted price from this reseller.

Coppertop batteries are made in the USA. I have a Greenish top battery which is made in China. They work Great though and have had no problems with them !

It seems like the deciding factor is the seller you get the batteries from. Mine came from a seller listed as "Duracell" and I haven't had a single problem. We've used 18 of the batteries so far and they've all powered devices as expected, didn't expire until like 2020, and haven't leaked. (I really hope I haven't jinxed myself!) Oh - and mine didn't have Chinese writing on them. They were all in English.

I went to the duracell website and pulled the spec sheets for the PC1500 and the MN1500 which are the Procell and Coppertop versions and found that specifications and all performance charts (six of them) are identical. You can find them here:http://www1.duracell.com/procell/productdata/# (if the link is removed just google: duracell procell batteries overview)I think they are positioned for different market segments. Consumer or industry. The procells are not retail packed.

The batteries are NiMh. There is nothing on the package or the website re: use in solar products; however you can contact Duracell directly through their website.

I'm not sure if they were dated. I did not notice. I buy them for my radio at work and I've never had a problem with them. Duracell is a very good brand of battery regardless if it had a date or not.

The one I purchased from Amazon was genuine battery, lasting around 4 hours after the first charge on regular use. It is now 9 months, no issues so far.
