Hi Lyla, Sorry to hear that. I share a box with my dad and we go through a box (60pc) in about 5months time. We have never got a dud. I have bought the iCellTech from 2 different vendors though. They might let you send the duds back, not sure. Shelf life does make a battery go bad. As a matter of fact, the ones I own are supposed to be good till 2017. imho, they should last longer than what you have experienced.

I saw your picture with the different tops fpr the different varities of batteries. However on the internet, they do not show the tops in the ads. there are two different pre-charged Duracell batteries. One has a yellow/gold band between the coppertop band and the bottom Duracell label band. One does not. Coincidentally the ones that have the band are usually cheaper like the ones on this page. (Search Duracell Pre-Charged Batteries on Amazon) I have the some of the ones that don't have the band, and they work very well, and have for months. I wondered if this was also a clue as to whether they were made in Japan or China. I saw your picture with the different tops fpr the different varities of batteries.

Yes you can - all duracell batteries have expiration dates; look on the sides of the battery; it will be marked in a small white box......... mine are good until Mar 2018 !! *** Every State and many Cities or Towns may have laws that say you must change Smoke & CO detector batteries every Year or whatever - just ask your local fire dept.

I have had no problems with mine working on duracell batteries for a very long time, as long as a year, depending on how many bags you seal. I am single so not so many. Nut good luck finding the bags. Reynolds has stopped making them, and the people that have them available are price gouging folks that need them :(

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.

I tend to use Duracell batteries in devices that use alkaline simply because my experience has been that they seem to last longer than others. I don't know if there is a scientific reason to use one brand over another in any specific device.

I bought some from of these, and other sizes of Duracell, from Amazon, but was not happy with the life of them, they didn't act very fresh. The package should have a date on them from the manufacturer, but you won't know what it is until they arrive at your house. You can put batteries you aren't using in the refridgerator/freezer to extend the life until you need them. I don't buy regular batteries from here anymore.

That's kinda why I'm here. Looking for a mouse with longer battery life. I have this one and I get about 30 days with a Duracell Copper Top and minimal use. I leave it turned on 24/7 though. With Duracell rechargeable NiMH batteries, it lasts almost 3 weeks.

Yes, Anything from Duracell is 100% Duralock Technology. I have own these batteries for years now and their hold charge for long time. If you plan on buying make sure to get changer as well from Duralock. I hope I was able to give you helping hand. :)

The first set of Duracell batteries in one light on our front porch (activated a few times a night on average) lasted for four years. I had to replace them earlier this year so i don't know how long these second set will last.

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.

Ours is going into the third year with pretty regular use. Be sure you select only an alkaline battery or the new Quantum series by Duracell, with an expiry date quite a ways out.

I use Duracell batteries, and I haven't had to replace them in more than a year.

This was that I submitted in my review: While it is the same battery as other stores that sell for much more there is no expiration date that I can find. I know you can't assume that the date on the package that holds the item is the same as item manufacture date but usually it gets you in the ballpark range. The package says 2011 Energizer - this is year 2014. I have used two so far and they seem fine. (checked voltage with multimeter and they were 3+ volts.)feedback

There is no expiration date anywhere that I can see. These batteries I received are fine. After this, I bought another 10-pack of batteries of a different size. They were all dead. Same vendor. I am torn about continuing with him. But my Maxell LR41 batteries were fine. No problems.
