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.

Hello:These batteries are the "exact" same types as their normal alkaline "c" cells. The difference is only in the name and these are sold commercially to contractors and tradesman.The mAh rating is 7800 mAh. As I have said before, get the Duracell Alkaline and the Duracell Procell spec sheets from Duracell and you will see they have the same specs.

No idea! I have used these as a cost effective alternative to the Duracell batteries. I find they perform the same as a Duracell with the price drop related to no marketing cost.

These batteries work good, and they seem to be fresh. I can not find an expiration date on them

They are what they say, they last just as long as average battery but cheaper and with a long shelf life. Mine which I got last yr have a shelf life till 2015. I bought several.

I purchased these and have sent them in Christmas gifts. I didn't keep the carton. I do buy Duracell hearing aid batteries. Surprised to find they are made in Germany! I have found and Consumer Reports support this, that they are as reliable as any on the market. I use these a great deal. Hope this helps.

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.

They are hit or miss. Some last just as long as Duracells, but for the most part, they do last long at all.

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.

There is no expiration date anywhere that I can see. These batteries I received are fine. After this, I bought another 10-pack of batteries of a different size. They were all dead. Same vendor. I am torn about continuing with him. But my Maxell LR41 batteries were fine. No problems.

The first set of Duracell batteries in one light on our front porch (activated a few times a night on average) lasted for four years. I had to replace them earlier this year so i don't know how long these second set will last.

I bought some from of these, and other sizes of Duracell, from Amazon, but was not happy with the life of them, they didn't act very fresh.The package should have a date on them from the manufacturer, but you won't know what it is until they arrive at your house. You can put batteries you aren't using in the refridgerator/freezer to extend the life until you need them.I don't buy regular batteries from here anymore.

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 :)

My first battery lasted almost 4 months, and it was a generic alkaline battery. I used a Duracell Ultimate for 2nd battery, after two months it is working fine. If you use a lithium battery you should get more than 4 months.
