product says they expire in 2020, but some reviews are stating they are getting batteries with earlier expiration dates. That's making me hesitant .

Peter, there are two dates on the cells. That may be why we see conflicting dates. On the black part of the label, there is a month (abbreviated and a year). that is the "Best By" date. Around the copper end, there is a date in the format YYYY-MM. That is the date of manufacture. Don't hesitate,they were good for me and I suspect you will be pleased.Jim W

I didn't check each and everyone, but I did look at lots of them and they all were 2020. I bought 2 boxes!

Not sure. You get what you pay for though. They do work, just depends on your use.

PS. See the other answers. All the expiration dates do vary. Again, it depends on when they were made. I would say if they are still selling them, and IF they WERE expired, they would HAVE to state that. Just my opinion, not set in stone, though.

I think I bought these batteries in 2013. They show an expiration date of March 2019.

I ordered some a few months ago and the expiration date says "March 2018"...it's marked on the individual battery.

I never look as they will work a lot longer than the expiration date. I bought the last ones in January and they are still working fine.

There were no expiration dates on the battery, the packaging, or the outside wrapper package. I will say they all look like they are in very good condition, none of them were swollen (which they will do if they have been exposed to heat or old) and so far all the ones I've used over the past 4 or 5 months have worked great. The Brand I received says "WAMA" "Micro Lithium Cell" at the top with an icon of a calculator at the top.

Hello. To be honest, I didn't check the expiration date on mine, but I will tell you that I purchased them about a year ago and they are still working just fine. Hope this helps. :)

I couldn't find any expiration dates on the box or on the batteries. There are some codes, but no dates.

I've used some that were very old. They always worked fine. Never had a problem. Why is that important? I don't think they do expire.

I think it depends on who the distributer is at time of purchase; they seem to change over time. The last batch of these batteries I received did not have expiration dates printed on either the battery or its packaging. I don't recall ever seeing dates physically printed on the batteries, although I have seen them printed on the packaging. But you'll have to trust the date on the packaging is correct, especially if the packaging looks like "re-packaging". The best way to tell if the battery you are about to use is fully charged (or check the batteries when you receive them, like I do) is to use a simple, inexpensive voltmeter that has either an analog or digital scale that measures at least 3.6 volts.

Original factory sealed package? Yes. Expiration date? Depends which vendor you buy from. I went for the cheapest price and got batteries that had an expiration one month after arrival. They've still worked fine, but it was a little disconcerting. Pay a higher price, get a better expiration.

I looked at my package and at the remaining battery and neither one show an expiration date. My wife uses these in here garage door opener and they do seem to last several years even with heavy use.

I do not see any expiration date, but if the battery does not hold up well, then its time to replace it.

As long as the battery works, it shouldn't be a problem. Usually expiration dates are just an estimate of when the batteries will be 100% efficient. When you buy a battery the expiration should be a year to 2 years going forward.

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.
