What is the expiration date on your battery packages? I bought 2 oline one time and they had expired dates-so thats a concern and important to know-

Not sure what the expiration dates were on the ones I purchased some time ago but I do know they did not last as long as the ones I buy directly from the dog fence company and I won't buy them again on Amazon.

I bought my batteries in 2013, and the expiration date is 2015. I believe it will depend on when they are bought. Mine work great and will purchase again when these are gone. Hope this helps.

The expiration date is printed on the back of the battery package.Mine stated 2018.

I could not find a date on either the battery or the package. The package states a two year warranty without specifying a reference. The batteries do have what appears to be a lot number pressed into the paper wrap.

Looking at the package and on the battery itself I do not see an expiration date. But for the price I paid and how many you get I figured can't go wrong. the cheapest I saw at retail stores was like 6.00 for 3

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.

I looked at mine and found no expiration date on the batteries but they are working fine for me and are lasting were the phone use to go dead in 2 to 3 mins now I can use it with no worry it is a chance you take but my batteries where fine.

That's the problem. There is no expiration date printed on either the package or the batteries.

That is not my experience; I have 3 and the batteries have all been in since the end of April and they are fine. Last year I left them out until Oct. and tested the batteries when I took them in and they still showed a good charge. I would call customer service, they are very good and usually will replace a product on your word and provide a prepaid return label.Les L

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.

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.

That's unknown to me. There is nothing on the battery or package indicating shelf life. I needed one battery and the cost for 5 including shipping was lower than buying 1 name brand battery without shipping.

Honestly, I never heard about an "expiration date." So I just went and looked at mine. I have both tabs and drops and looked both packages over and I could not find anything that referred to an "expiration date" unless I'm missing something I don't believe they have one. Hope that helps.

I got mine three months ago and mine expire in 04 of 2016. I like these batteries and they are the bet I have found.

none of the batteries that i have had the words "best used by date" on their outer or inner packages. my batteries all have the 2018 date on each inner package. i suspect your not getting the right product. send it back.

The experation date is on the batteries. The one's i received from Amazon expired within a month. I did not have very good results with the Duracell batterys.

I purchased these batteries over a year ago mind you. It is a five-pack with an expiration date of 05/2015.I have used only one so far and haven't had to replace it in over a year.
