What is the shelf life date of this battery

Mar 2018. But they work like regular battery. I have been using Alkaline battery for 30 years on my little device. This last less than 1/3 of duration.

I ordered mine in mid-August 2013, and the expiry date on the ones I received was March 2018. Since 9 volt batteries generally only have a 5 year shelf life (as opposed to AA, AAA, C and D's 7 years), this means they were very fresh.

I really don't know. The only reason that I bought these batteries was to use them in my smoke detectors. The batteries are changed every New Years. I hope this helps. Have a great day.

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.

Mine had a June 2009 date code, so this battery is 5 years old. I understand it's still "technically" new, as in never used, but 5 years????

If it is on the battery, I am unable to see a logical date. Some batteries that I have purchased had the date on the package. I have disposed of the package for this battery. Lou

I did not. The date on the batteries was: March 2016. Although the seven-year freshness may be important, I will have used these batteries within the first couple of years. The price is good and if the battery lasts, I am satisfied.

yes there is a shelf life I guess. Mine said Oct. 2014 which probably wasn't even a year after I got it.

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

The Battery will expire 12-16 for the ones I purchased. I am sure I will find another uses for it before it expires. why pay double for one battery to have someone install it.

The expiry date says in August 2014. The stated shelf life is 2 years and my experience says good

On the battery that I had bought here off of amazon I havent a clue as to what the expiration date is on it because I cannot remove it from my laptop. The original battery that came with my laptop when I bought it brand new lasted me almost 5 years.

What is the shelf life of this battery unit if I plan to keep it as a back up battery?

I purchased one of these batteries September of last year and when you get them, they have a little sticker on them that tells you the make/refurbish date. Mine was made 08/13 so they are pretty new. The first available date was when this ad was first posted. These batteries don't exactly expire, and as long as the page says "In Stock" it is available. When companies make the ad they have to list a Quantity, so if they have 10 and sell 7 it will tell you. If they have over 100 or so it will not list the quantity, and they can add more to the stock as they get them. I can tell you I've not had a single issue with this item as of today, however optima does not cover the warranty. If you have any issues, you will have to go through amazon for replacements.

Hey Andie, every battery in the 12 pack box is stamped November 2023. That is a 9 year shelf life balance. Thanks for the heads up and making me aware of shelf life dates moving forward. Hope this helps.

Scott, I know there was a warranty when I ordered the battery but don't remember the length of time. HTH!
