Decoded? -- Confusing since buying the 2-pack of the same battery from this dealer suggests that the batteries aren't decoded... Please clarify.

Decoded means that the chip inside the battery [which communicates with the camera and OEM charger] and has been "decoded" so that it communicates correctly with both. It also allows for the battery charge level to be displayed on the LCD of the camera.

I don't understand what decoded means. I've been using them interchangeably with the Panasonic batteries and I can charge them with either the Panasonic or the off-brand charger.

I am not sure about the term "fully decoded" but this battery has worked successfully in a D3100 for several hundred pictures so far.

These batteries are decoded and will work fine with your camera. They will not be rejected.

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.

I received my batteries in November, and they were chipped (decoded). They show the full battery info on the E-P5. I understand older batteries were not chipped, but it appears to no longer be an issue

I am presently out of town and unable to look at the ones I have. I have never had a problem. They are always well charged and quite btrght when darkness falls. I will be home the end of the first week in Feb and would be happy to check and see if the batteries are replaceable. Off hand I think they may not be, I recall they are well sealed.

Not sure what to tell you... I entered the # on the old battery, the correct one appeared!

Ok I feel embarrased now. The battery actually works even after the message "not compatible" It was my mistake that I was not presing the power botton on the battery for 2 full seconds. Therefore the battery was never turning on completelly OOPS. Sorry my mistake. The custumer service of the manufacturer help me to figure this out

I read a lot of comments after buying the batteries that there seem to be quite a lot of counterfeit ones. Mine seem to be original. On top of the battery description (CR2032 in orange) the blister is "raised. For me they appear original. Hope that they are!

Alex, unfortunately the others weren't reading your question correctly. I have done some research on the company jmd and have found that You must read the reviews! Not just on the item you are looking at, but go to their storefront. Take time to read so you don't get burned. Their batteries may sell because of the price and name brand, but what you order is not always what you get.

M_ENGLE and DUSTY comments contradicts what Bob commented...I want to use this device for load testing and confirm the condition of any battery......who am i to be believe now, because am about to place order.

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.

I've never had a bad battery from these. They've been all good and i''ve placed another order. You might get 1 0r 2 in the box but i hardly doubt it.

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.

probably means 2 batteries in the pack - that is how mine came. Do not know for sure.

Hey Doug, Are you sure it's the ID same number on the new battery and is the battery is a Lithium rechargable. My battery says PBR 55D,3.7 VH, 1000 mAh rechargeable Lithium, the serial number is DC100715UD8. If it's the same then I think it's your power converter and maybe the recharge cord not fitting properly. My battery last about 2-3 days with normal activity like maybe 15-20 text per day, I'm hearing Impaired and use my phone for TEXTING ONLY,check the power cord and the connection, That all I can think of, Good Luck. E-mail me if you want joelted@comcast.net Joel
