What is the MANUFACTURING date of these batteries? I want a unit which is NEWLY manufactured, not one which has been on shelf for years.

The batteries I received were manufactured in 2010 and wouldn't hold a charge. I returned them for a refund.

the date on mine is 2/9/2011. Now keep in mind I ordered it over a year ago. But it does seem old now that I think about it.

I bought two just a few weeks ago. Turns out I actually didn't need them, as the charger was bad not the batteries. They came package loosely in a small box. They weren't even bubble wrapped. I thought that was lame.

Mine arrived today (2/19/15) with a March 2021 expiration date. Is this the norm for this model? I've found that batteries never make it to the printed expiration date even when in temp controlled storage. I see the listing descriptions say 7 years. ????

I purchased my battery last year and the shelf date was 2 years, but I believe their covered for a year after the date on the battery. I guess you should be able to write to the seller (or call) and check on this. There are Medtronic batteries and after market ones.

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

These should last for 5 years. if someone in 2014 said they were dated 2019, that means that they are being sold 50% expired. I want to buy batteries to store for long term emergency use. Is there a way to get these batteries right after they were manufactured?

Thanks Phil. I was concerned that these batteries that are factory pre charged have not been on the shelf for months. There is a limit to shelf life on these batteries.

I don't see were it says that but it's most likely the date of manufacture. I got a set of these a while back (2011) and each individual battery has the date (01-2021) stamped on them. 10 year shelf life. ^_^

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.

You'll find the dates but only inside the box -- on each individual dispenser "wheel." They are excellent batteries. I've used them for exclusively for several years. In a recent order I placed on amazon, the ones that arrived are clearly marked :"Use by May 2017." I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Yes it is the same, I am guessing it has an older manufactured date, but not sure. Some of the other batteries I have purchased are like that.

I didn't notice a sell-by date on the package. Mine are at work, so I can't look at them right now, but the batteries I got for my digital calipers were definitely fresh. I have no complaints.

There is no mfg date or expiry date on these batteries. However they worked fine. At couple of dollars and free shipping I am not complaining.

The date on the front side of the Battery is the Best used by date. The number on the bottom of my batteries looks more like a manufacturing control number than a date.

wow, i just now looked at what i got and mine had 12/17/2010. You better ask the seller if you are indeed going to get that kind of battery because they don't usually give you what is posted on the site. better be sure before buying.

my batteries indicate 11/2018. I find them most unsatisfactory and will not buy them again.

I received 2 of the Exide RF- 31D batteries on July 19, 2013. I just checked the factory date on the batteries. Both batteries were dated June 2013. I use the batteries on my solar backup system and they are holding up well.

The battery I purchased had a manufactured date of 2013 on it and was new (unused) so I wasn't concerned. I wouldn't buy one older but that's just my opinion.
