I purchased these and received a package of 12 "Procell by Duracell" 9v batteries, which are orange with black stripe long-ways. Are these knockoffs?

No; they are the same. Duracell has just updated the design/look for the outside. A lot of products are doing that, hoping that it boosts sales.
872717
No, these are definitely not knock-offs. These are what the government and industry buys. They are a heavier duty battery, i.e. longer life.

These are the pro/contractor packs from my understanding. Basic, bulk, no frills packaging for heavy users. So far they seem to have a life span the same as other Duracells in my experience. I have no idea what you might have received, but the units that I got were fine.Here is a link that describes them.http://professional.duracell.com/en/procellHope this helps.

No. They are not. They are Vivitar brand. Pretty well known manufacturer of photographic and other types of camera equipment. However, after several months of use-they work perfectly. No troubles at all. At half the price of the OEM battery-these represent an outstanding value.

The battery you see in the picture is the exact same battery you will receive' same manufacturer, size, etc. Otherwise the seller would be in trouble for false-advertisement.

These are fakes (most likely recycled laptop batteries)...one of the 8 I bought were dead, there is no circuit protection, and label contains a spelling error. If you want cheap cells, these are for you...just don't expect anything special.

Depends on who you buy them from, the ones I got are actual Duracell Carded Packs (looks like you would buy at retail store) and have a 2018 date printed at the bottom. If you get batteries in bulk, or un-carded there is no real way to tell.

Just for you, I checked the label on my original and extra battery, thoroughly mixed up over several years. Both have authentic Sony labels so I would guess fakes reported by others are relatively recent. With respect to the comment about "G", below, note that it is a size moniker <http://community.futureshop.ca/t5/Cameras-Camcorders/what-is-the-difference-between-a-G-type-and-a-N-type-bat/td-p/274164>

I don't see "Duracell" on the package, but I did buy a package of Duracell batteries at the same time, and it may have been just a mix-up on my part.

I guess they are I found that the battery r us stores were over charging for these batteries and decided to try ordering them from amazon. Glad I did.

I ordered this product....batteries & charger were just delivered and package says they REPLACE the Canon original LP-E10 battery but the ones I rec'd are made by VIVITAR !! batteries & charger are BOTH Vivitar brand....

Some are and some aren't. If it doesn't say it on the batteries then it's not Duralock. The first 4-pack I bought was Duralock and the second 4-pack wasn't. I suggest you contact the seller and specify exactly what you want before you buy it!

The batteries aren't by APC, but they fit correctly and seem to work fine. I've replaced a couple with success. They look the same, are the same dimension and have the same connectors. All is good from my end.

The one I received is identical in markings and wire length to the original Uniden battery, though I have purchased "compatible" batteries that were not uniden. The longer wire and different markings are the knock-offs.

The battery's came in a plastic case much like a retail container. I have used almost all of the battery's and they have performed great. If they are fake, they are doing as good of job as real ones.

I personally have no idea what the manufacture did that makes these any different. I do know that I purchased them in the past, and had very good luck with them, and the price is a lot better on these Pro Cells.

They look to me to be new knock-offs of the OEM Cartridges. What I can tell you is I've been buying these for at least (2) years now and have never had an issue.

Can't find that information, BUT can tell you that I'd NEVER buy these batteries again. Have never had a 9V with such a short life. Duracell Procell should be called Druacell Complete-novice oh well . . . live and learn.
