Do they have an "expiration date" or a "use before" date?

The batteries I bought have a date of almost 5 years after the date I bought them.

I really didnt look..they work great. I dont look at expiration dates on anything but perishable foods-so I m not the one to ask. All I know is they do what they say and at a great price.

I've bought these from multiple sources and the expire date is usually about 6 months to a year from the date I bought them. I've got shorter dates on rare occasions but never shorter than about three months.

The ones I got will expire in July 2015. I wouldn't have bought them if I had known they are so close to exp date. You might want to ask the seller first. Hope this helps.

Looks as if Robert answered your question on the expiration date, so I'll take the one on how long they're good for... virtually forever. I think the only reason they put expiration dates on something like this is to scare people into throwing away and replacing perfectly good products. I have some canisters that are many years past their "expiration" dates, and they still work fine.

Every box has an expiration date on it. We are supposed to use them up before that date. I suppose after that date they may not be as accurate. So when you are buying them, make sure you are not paying for a box that has already expired.

I don't understand the question. IF you are not using the items, you should call the company to see if there is an expiration date.

Mine have been about 2 years until expiration. I use when I bake cakes so have never had an issue with the dates.

Mine had only a couple of weeks before expiration, and my use was a month away, so I froze them.Didn't work. They won't mix well.They were also much cheaper at Samsclub.

I have purchased these for the past 2 years and each time the expirations have been at least 1 year out. You can buy them, see the dates and then send them back if you need to! I have never had an issue with this.

The ones I recently received have an expiration date of 2018. I'll use them up a long time before then. I have ordered from this company for 2 or 3 years now and have been extremely happy with what they send. All have had long expiration dates.

I don't know - I disposed of them some time ago. Probably expired around 2011, give or take.

the description says "dating 12+ months." I guess they mean that the expiration date is 12 or more months in the future. I'm buying some and will certainly try to remember to post back if the expiration date is short.

I don't remember the exact date, but when I received mine, they had very nearly a full 5 years before expiration.

I used mine within a couple of months after they were received. The expiration date was not a great concern for me.

This would be a question for the Seller (Amazon or whomever you purchase from).. I am just a consumer. I will say that the exp date on mine is out far enough for me that there isn't any chance they will reach expiration before I use them all.. (About 2 years).

It depends on when you buy them. Because they get them in new the expiration date changes. It is about a year or more. I have not had any problem using them past the expiration date. They were right with the doctors meter. So don't worry they will work for you.

I would guess they are either the dates made or the expiration dates... talk to the company.
