Sounds like you are saying you have a battery tester which shows you are only getting 85% of the 1.5 volts you expected? All I know is I got 5 batteries delivered to my door for less than what it would cost me for one of these, even of you were lucky enough to find one at a hardware store. I'll take 85% times 5 over 100% of 1 any day of the week. Maybe you should buy ONE battery for $5 from your local jewelry store. They could install it for you. Perhaps that would make you feel like you got a real bargain.

Well the one I received would only power up for 15 sec then die so never got a chance to try. I think these are old stock so the batteries are probably bad in all of them.

Wow, that's a new one! I have purchased and installed half a dozen non-OEM batteries over the past 5 years, and never had a problem with rejection by the hardware. Call the computer manufacturer, and if they admit to this foolishness, please post it here, because I NEVER want to own that brand!

It seems like the deciding factor is the seller you get the batteries from. Mine came from a seller listed as "Duracell" and I haven't had a single problem. We've used 18 of the batteries so far and they've all powered devices as expected, didn't expire until like 2020, and haven't leaked. (I really hope I haven't jinxed myself!) Oh - and mine didn't have Chinese writing on them. They were all in English.

The one i received was not in Lenovo packaging. The box was generic, as was the documentation. The battery itself had what appeared to be Lenovo markings, and LOOKED like it could be legit. After 1 cycle and a bios update, the battery stopped showing a charge (actually I think it stopped communicating with the computer)and was returned to the vendor. it was almost certainly a counterfeit item.I bought another battery from another site and it shipped in full Lenovo regalia, Printed box, printed security tape, hologram seals, full professional documentation etc. If your doesn't have these, it's probably not a real Lenovo item.

Rosemary - Ours acquired a few months ago has a statement about it expiring by June, 2015 - but also a note apparently relating to the battery saying Install by June, 2018. I will be seeking clarification on that from Philips, the mfgr. If I had one saying it expired in 2006 I would be very concerned. I think it would be very important if not perhaps critical to find a way to have a new battery put in it. The last thing you want to happen is not having a device like this able to work when it is needed!!!! Because of the high price of these things it is a hard pill to swallow, but what would you pay to possibly save the life of a loved one, or perhaps even ANYONE?

Yes, there is a date on the batteries. Sometimes you can find them cheaper than others on a website, and perhaps this is because the expiration date is more limited in time.

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 don't understand what frustration free packaging means? I ordered two Optima Batteries from Amazon and I had to "jokeling open them up with a crow bar. The packaging was the best and most secure that I have ever seen. Isn't that the purpose? to get a quality item shipped without damage and not have FFD (frustration free damage) Great Product and Great Packaging. VERY HAPPY! PS: You buying the battery or the box it comes in?

I think you have a fake. My batteries have only a month and year date stamp which is the expiration date of the battery. There are a lot of fake surefire batteries out there. Only buy from surefire direct or through one of their dealers.

On the 40-pack of batteries I bought a couple months ago has an expiry date of 2018 stamped on each battery, not printed.

I'm not a vendor; I'm also a customer. Sorry I can't tell you what the expiration date was as I discarded the packing. If you store unused batteries in a zip-locked plastic bag in a refrigerator, they won't "leak" their charge.

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

I looked and looked and all can see is the print date of the pack box that they came in. But I've gone through almost my first box of three and they are some darn good batteries. I use them almost weekly in flashlights and on weapons sites. I have no complaints on their quality.

The batteries I received were not in a package that looked like the one picture. They were the bulk battery packaging and had expiration dates of 2015 or 2016. I have ordered from this company before and have always received batteries with expiration dates at least 2 years in the future.

Hello, Naser. chances are, like me, you got a "reconditioned" battery, and not a brand new one from Toshiba directly, correct? As I had found out, after about a year from purchase, my Toshiba battery would only hold about 90 minutes of a charge, so I went to Amazon, and got a replacement. I was thrilled when I first charged it up and got over 3 hours of battery life! After 3-4 months, however, it dropped to less than an hour! I complained to the company here in CA. and was told that it was a reconditioned battery, which means that it is not as good as an original! If you want to pay over $100.00 for a new battery, contact Toshiba directly, but even they will not guarantee their batteries either! Sorry for your problems! Greg Stone

Exactly the same thing happened to me. If anyone knows of another brand or reseller that might actually sell good quality batteries it would be a good idea to hear from them.
