Thes batteries real Duracell & made by Duracell? They still near expiration date as many have suggested? It's March 2015, anyone currently tried them?

the AA , AAA, & 9 volt batteries have 2 dates encrypted. one is the manufacture date, and the 2nd the expiration date. if you see 2015 on the battery, chances are you are reading the manufacture date, look for the other date on the battery toothank you

I thought its cheaper amazon, but found out costco is much cheaper, and newer than this one.

The experation date is on the batteries. The one's i received from Amazon expired within a month. I did not have very good results with the Duracell batterys.

I have a Duracell ultra CR2 battery. As far as how long it lasts, I've had mine for about a year. I don't use it as a Flashlight just test it every now and then. Holding up fine. Batteries are little expensive.

I ordered mine... Oh, a while back... maybe 18 months ago. They're still fresh. If you get batteries that are near their expiration dates, I imagine Amazon would let you return them to keep a happy customer.

Hi I'm sorry to hear that I use Duracell batteries and I have about three meetings weekly about two and half each time. These are the same batteries since I started over a month ago.

It depends on the battery. A Duracell cost more but will go from 3-5 days. I usually run mine all day at work. The rechargeable Tenley last a day to a day and a half. Over the long haul, they are more economical.

yes they are I have them in my model airplanes for the past few years and have not changed them yet I only will use Duracell batteries in my models seeing my models cost in excess of 4to500 dollars hope this will help you in your decision Len Mayo

Definitely Duracell has good long lasting charge, you want to find the highest mAh rating to get the most out of every charge, though this particular set has been mentioned at 800mAh though i think there is 1000mAh for AAA batteries. Would be nice for Duracell to properly label them. I use Duracell in my mouse and other appliances, have Energizer AAA batteries but i have been looking for some Duracell ones.

We are lucky if the rechargeable batteries last 3 hours...so very annoying. I started doing a little research and found that these rechargeable batteries are the best on the market : eneloop AA 1800 cycle, Ni-MH Pre-Charged Rechargeable Batteries, 4 Pack (discontinued by manufacturer) Anyone have any experience with them?! They have really good reviews. I'm wondering if I do get them if I should get a better battery charger, if it really matters at all?!

The batteries are the same Duracell AA Coppertop that I would buy in any store. Mine have a Mar. 2019 date on them. I assume that means that they are good until that year.

I'm not sure if they are or not, they had Chinese(?) writing on them, which doesn't necessarily mean they are counterfeit. They worked for me, but didn't seem to last as long as other Duracell batteries I've purchased.

Best to use Duracell (4) AA batteries. They should last 20-24 hours if new. Keep recirculating them as they loose power within the unit for max. use. I always keep an extra set in my carrying case for back-up and change after the ones in my unit are about 1/2 life left. You can use rechargeable but they won't last as long and you need to charge them up before you go out for max. efficiency. Happy Hunting!!!

Dianne, I have bought this many batterries many times and have never had them go bad. They have worked flawlessly up to 6 months past the expiration date( had some packs that I had stashed in vehicles). I would not worry that they will expire to much. I too have the rechargeable option, but find it inconvienient away from home and mainly rely upon disposible batteries for my implant. Hope this helps, David

I bought my backup battery on Duracelldirect.com. I have NEVER had a problem with it, nor can I tell any difference from my NIKON battery. It was priced right and it had a warranty. Completely satisfied.

I use Duracell batteries, and I haven't had to replace them in more than a year.

I think the battery life may depend on battery quality. I use Duracell ProCell batteries and they seem to last through many uses, with each use at a minimum of 5 minutes. I suggest maybe trying different batteries to see if that helps.
