Change Incorrect Date Somehow when changing the batteries, the date now says May 4, 2020. Does anyone know how to change the date.

When your Flip is off, hold down the + and turn it on. The screen comes up for changing the date and time.

I had a coupon for a free DVD to be made by my Point and Shoot,(FlipVideo's first name) and the machine that makes the DVD is supposed to correct the date in your camera. The DVD is $15.00 without the coupon, so you might want to contact company support to see if there's another way. They're fast in responding, and they were very helpful with my problem, but it was a different problem.

To change the date/time on the Flip video:Hold down the '+' and turn the camera on. You will be able to change the date/time.

Thanks to the posters with the tip on resetting the date. I never would have figured this out. Thank you, thank you!

Worked for me too. THANK YOU!I held down the +, THEN turned on the Flip. Was brought into Setup and changed the date/saved it by pressing arrow as was displayed. It appeared to be changed. Not sure how to check it, but will call it a plus to get this far. Just learning how to do video now.Thanks again.Rozhttp://www.RozOnTwitter.com

There's a "+" on the camera just above the record button. Hold it down BEFORE you turn the camera on. The plus also increases the volume or zoom.

I didn't realize I didn't know how either. Hope I never have to change the time and date. Hope you get an answer.

I have never changed mine. I have had to change the battery once in over a year.

I don't see a date on either the package or the batteries, but they are working for me.

I bought these about 5 months ago. The "use by" date marked on the batteries is Mar 2020.

Says "18 AH" on the side of the battery. I bought 2 last year about this time......by July they were both dead...forever. Your choice and your money. My opinion is they suck.

Dear Connie, the easyest way is to take the batery out, wait some minutes and then, reinsert it and push the turnon/of button. The first dat the camera will ask is right the date. The other way is to press the menu button and search for the Date & time settings. Good luck!

The batteries have a reference number, a lot number and an SN number on them. But no date that I can see. I charged them when I got them. The first set of four I bought in 2012 and the second set of four in 2014.

@PhilipOriginally many sites and eBay vendors were saying March 11. Now I am seeing March 31 on many (not all) of these sites. I have no idea if anybody has this laptop. I would assume the March 31st date at this point. Hopefully I am wrong. It's a bummer.

Honestly, I didn't even check for the date.However, an overnight charging after they were installed in the phone did it's job.Batteries were fully charged.As of yet, no issues.

I believe the batteries have a set life, which is why they recommend that it be installed before a certain date, or it might give an expiration date, for that matter.I believe if you order from amazon, they shall always send you the newest batteries they have in stock.

Nothing on it looks like a date. Labeled PT434 E6400. Bar code on a sticker is 2014010301:1264.Battery seems pretty lively; maybe 1264 was a good year! Seriously, however, no problems noted.

Hi Matthew. I see where you are going with this. I don't see an actual date on the battery itself. This info may be part of a serial number or another code. I am finding that the replacement battery is not holding a full charge the way I think it should. My opinion is that replacing the battery is simply a temporary solution. Every once in a while I get a message that the battery has less than 5-minutes backup left. This is not right! When I am faced with having to replace it again, I would very likely buy the whole assembly new. Hope this helps.

That date is SureFire's date of guaranteed useful life of the battery. Hope this helps.

My apologies for the delay. I have never had to change the batteries so I have no idea how to help you. I will contact the manufacturer for details. Thank you.

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.
