What is the shelf life of these batteries?

To be honest I am not sure, I don't see an expiration date on the package. However, I have purchased these twice and not had any performance issues.

Shelf life should be very similar to the Energizer battery of the same type. Their web site states, " Note: Manufacturer does not stamp this battery or packaging with expiration date. We guarantee battery freshness for minimum shelf life shown above." which is 4 years from purchase date. My guess is that 5 yrs is a safe bet in my opinion.

I checked the package and the batteries do not have an expiration date on them. The instructions say to keep them in a dark, cool, dry place.

They have a shelf life about about 4-5 years. Batteries deteriate over time so when you purchase them you should buy enough to be used in a timely manor.I hope this answers your question.

Anywhere from days to months. Any Maxell battery arriving with a paper back card and not an all plastic blister pack is counterfeit. Based on the image, all of these sellers sending packages that look like that are selling cheap Chinese counterfeits. They are alkaline regardless of what the package claims and they often leak.

They are what they say, they last just as long as average battery but cheaper and with a long shelf life. Mine which I got last yr have a shelf life till 2015. I bought several.

I have had mine for over a year now and they are still fine.A lithium-Ion battery shouldn't really go bad.Thay don't have a charge memory where they loose capacity every time you use them..Just don't leave them out in the cold and not charged because that does seem like it can mess them up and don't recharge until they have cooled off..

Good question, the response to which says don't buy from this vendor: Their product description talks about a ten-year shelf life, but the batteries are stamped with expiration dates that are years short of that. An Amazon message to the vendor got no response.

Its a solid state battery, and the shelf life is at least one year in dry storage.Manufacturer recommends on trickle charger when not in use, however.

I am not sure the shelf life all raped up I would not trust to be more then 6 months. I know they don't last longh after you install them even if you don't print anyting.

Yes, the batteries are fresh. They are working fine. I don't see an expiration date on the package or on the batteries themselves.Regards,Bruce

I have no idea as I tossed the packaging a while back. They work the same in my kids' toys as the previous batteries and last about 3 months with heavy use.

These should last for 5 years. if someone in 2014 said they were dated 2019, that means that they are being sold 50% expired. I want to buy batteries to store for long term emergency use. Is there a way to get these batteries right after they were manufactured?

No, they're not rechargeable. But in any case, don't buy from this company. They state that the shelf life is ten years, but the batteries they ship have a shelf life of less than seven years according to the expiration date on the batteries. I returned and bought them again from what I thought was another company. It wasn't. They keep changing names. Check to see if the trade name you're buying from is actually Medical Supply Depot. FYI, I sent a "Contact Seller" query to one of their names, True Gifts, weeks ago. Never heard from them. (Today they're selling under the name true great deals.) No, they're not rechargeable.

That is when the battery was made. It should still be good. They usually have a long shelf life

I can't read the fine print, so I'm guessing that there's a standard shelf life which applies to these batteriez.

When I purchased my quantities in 100's, they arrived with expiration dates that were good for five (5) years. No worry of getting old batteries.

Mine are dated to expire on Sept 2018. I purchased these batteries because they were advertised as "longest life", which I interpreted to mean "longest operational life". I was told that what Rayovac meant was that they had the longest shelf life. In fact, based on my own experience, these Rayovac batteries have an operational life only 75% as long as the PowerOne batteries I was using. To add insult to injury, I paid more for the Rayovac batteries on the mistaken assumption that they would give longer operational life!

my batteries had a " best by" date on the side of each of the batteries. The date was 4+ years from the date of purchase. as I use 10 at a time to replace smoke alarm batteries this was an adequate shelf life for me.

Each box has a different expiration date based on when the batteries were made. The latest box i received were dated over 3 years in advance. I bought them in 2013 and the date stamped on the package is 2016. They may have an even longer shelf life but I use mine before the dates. I have been very pleased with the quality and have continued to purchase these batteries. Hope this helps answer your question.

They have a manufacture date of 2012/04 stamped on them and the use before date printed on the battery is Mar 2021. It seems to me they say 10 years but mine aren't allowed to lay on the shelf that long. I like them. I use them. And I reorder them. I prefer the Duracell.
