I have the charger and two batteries and have had them for about a year and a half and have not had any problem with them. I use them in a 1000 lumen flashlight and they seem to hold their charge well. Hope this helps.

I ordered these and they are working fine. I have recharged the batteries in the charger and it works.

The Batteries I Received Were Knock Offs And Manufacturers Date Was 2+ Yeats Ago Don't Expect Any Support From Seller.

Just for you, I checked the label on my original and extra battery, thoroughly mixed up over several years. Both have authentic Sony labels so I would guess fakes reported by others are relatively recent. With respect to the comment about "G", below, note that it is a size moniker <http://community.futureshop.ca/t5/Cameras-Camcorders/what-is-the-difference-between-a-G-type-and-a-N-type-bat/td-p/274164>

I bought from this supplier a couple...good batteries...but there is a clear failure in how this product is listed on the Amazon site. One or two? The only answer can come from Amazon Customer Service.

The one I ordered and received from MLC Distribution, Inc. was a genuine Sony battery, and the only steps involved were powering down the computer, removing the old one, popping the new one into place, and powering back up. It's the off-brand ones that require the BIOS patches, if I understand correctly. It seems as though some sellers are claiming to sell the genuine Sony product, but are shipping out third-party batteries of dubious quality. As I said, the one I ordered from MLC Distribution, Inc. was genuine and was identical to the battery my computer originally shipped with. However, check the back of the battery when it arrives. If you don't see it say SONY somewhere on it, I would advise sending it back and getting a full refund.

The one Amazon sells directly is a fake, read the reviews on it! Hope this one is real.

Even though seller promise there is serial number, however, staffs work in Apple store can't determine the product is real or not because they must open the cell in the battery to check the cell in order to verify it. By looking at the appearance, there is no way the staffs can determine the authenticity. People who work in Apple store will say the battery that purchase from eBay or Amazon are counterfeit because they wanted customer to purchase from Apple store. If you really want a 100% real Apple battery, the best option is shop in Apple store.

If it's a counterfeit you should buy it on the skills of the counterfeiters! Seriuosly though, mine was a real Milwaukee battery in a sealed Milwaukee pack. No fears.

It's impossible to say because there are multiple sellers on Amazon selling this, and there's no guarantee that any of them are selling genuine batteries. There are typically some telltale signs you can look for after you get a battery though. The back of my fake batteries have weird font size, spacing and alignment issues. It also has a 5 with circular arrows around it, and a PSE with a circle around it, and my original genuine Nokia battery have neither of those. Also the hologram sticker on the fake battery doesn't have as strong of a 3D effect as the real battery.

Any batteries i have gotten through Amazon have been dead and very difficult to return...i wouldnt bother getting batteries through them...use your local stores.

Yes, they are authentic. Doesn't Amazon stand behind the products they sell anyway?

No they aren't fake. Some of them seem like damaged goods or don't hold charge as good as older Tenergy Ds. For example I have Fenix TK-70... older T-Energy Ds should hold turbo for 70 minutes, while these will hold for 10 minutes max. I would constantly recharge them from 50% to 100% just so they can hold turbo mode on my flashlight. Making people believe that these are damaged goods. The authentic ones are sold for 10-30 dollars more on the official website.

I ordered 2 of these, and I received the real deal, sealed in the Milwaukee package. Works great, improved the use of my M12 tools greatly. The run time is awesome with this battery, and also doubles as a tool stand. I already had one, bought from the big box store, so I compared them, and it's not a counterfeit. Hope this helps

I just bought one and it was 100% authentic. I would just make sure that the seller is Amazon and not some other company.

It's supposed to be genuine. I'd order from amazon directly to avoid getting scammed.

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.
