What is it with advertising them as 2032's and the subtext says 2016's which are utterly different sort of batteries?

The batteries that I received were 2032. They fit my garage door openers and worked fine. I don't know why the seller has the subtext of 2016; sorry I couldn't help solve this.

none of the batteries that i have had the words "best used by date" on their outer or inner packages. my batteries all have the 2018 date on each inner package. i suspect your not getting the right product. send it back.

Their is a 1" dia., round date sticker on the battery showing the month and year.Places like Auto Zone remove the stickers so they can sell shelf weary stock.Never buy one with no date sticker.We buy directly from Optima to insure we get fresh batteries.Optima quality has dropped since they moved the factory to Mexico.

The batteries I received were dated Mar 2018. Have had no problems with the batteries.

This package itself doesn't say anything about that BUT an Engergizer package says "replaces all 2032 batteries". So I would say no - it is not different

The battery is not discontinued. It must be a typo. I will request Amazon correct the listing, as I cannot.

Yes Jim it is the new version,the old version had a different battery that doesn't fit the new version.

I would venture to say that since the housing is different the batteries are different dispute the similarities.

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.

I also purchased these a few weeks ago. I also noticed that under no load, both batteries read less than 12V. One is 11.97 the other 11.84. The package says best used by 2016.

It all depend on the freshness of the battery. 03-2020 is the expiration date. 1111A is the manufacture date code which stand for Made in November of 2011. The latest batteries are currently manufactured in 2014 and should have 12-2024 expiration date and xx14A (xx = month) date code. Newer battery has more capacity and longer shelf-life. Each seller may have different dated stock so be sure to check the description for the item condition. You may have to ask the seller directly if the info is not listed.

There is no date listed on the battery and it is made it China...surprise, surprise. I replaced my old phone battery with one of them and so far, so good and no complaints.

If it uses 2-2016's then use those because the voltage of two cells is required. The 2016 is half as thick(1.6mm vs 3.2mm) as the 2032. The 2032 is over twice the capacity (lasts 2X longer) than the 2016 (~200mAhr versus 90mAhr), BUT two 2016's is 6.4V, whereas a single 2032 will be just 3.2V. Blue and White LED's will most likely require 2x2016's, while red for example might be just fine (and work longer) on 1x2032. Sorry it isn't simpler. Unless you are having problems with batteries not lasting long enough I would go with 2x2016's as one person states and just get a bunch of them (they can be found pretty cheap nowadays).

07-2016. I'm sure that the short life span has to do with poor storage practices. They're usually pretty good batteries.

They are production codes relevant to country of origin, plant they were made in, which vendor made the battery and the date it was made. The only number you should pay attention to is the model # on the top.

You'd need to check with Minoura. Most product descriptions don't list a year like a new car.
