If you are buying them for shelf life, go with the regular copper tops. These batteries have a little more juice than the regular copper tops, but when left in equipment for several years, they are more likely to leak on you. They are best for high usage devices where they will be replaced on a regular basis.

I bought the batteries a year ago and they had a 7 year expiration date. We used them in 2-way radios for 12 hours over 4 days and did not have to replace one. Much better performance than the copper tops.

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.

I'll have to modify my answer. I have a ten test kit but, again, the shelf life was well over 12 months.

So am I! The date on the few batteries that I checked was 2020; six years from now. Duracells are guaranteed for 10 years -- when they are fresh. I wonder what the charge is on mine. Mine are going back due to misrepresentation.

Ordered Jan 2015 and the batteries have a production date of August 2013 and an expiration date of March 2019. I randomly tested 20 out of the 100 and all tested good.

I bought AAA batteries from this seller in October 2014. The listing says 10 years, and that is why I bought from him. These batteries are dated March 2021. They were available elsewhere on ---- for two dollars less with the same date. I contacted the seller and asked for a $2.00 refund. He blamed Amazon for the "10 year shelf life statement" and did not respond until I filed a return request with Amazon for a not as described product. Since this happened, I see the listing has not been corrected. This speaks for the seller's integrity in my opinion.

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.

My experience is that these batteries last about 2 years in use. I don't know about shelf life but I wouldn't take the chance on it.

It is my understanding that the date code on the batteries are manufacturing dates. No expiration date. Week number/year, ex: 0813, the eight week of 2013.

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?

I think the product description needs to be changed. Typo. Batteries last 7-9 days and shelf life is over 1 year.1 pack of 60 is my years supply.

the battery should last 10 years..... so no experience with the battery yet.

I bought them a couple of months ago. I don't see a date anywhere on them but there is a stamped number of "43" on the battery. All the batteries were fully charged and I did not have any defective ones. I have bought the same batteries before from these people with no regrets.

The batteries delivered in January 2014 are marked with a 10/2016 expiration date.

Hey Andie, every battery in the 12 pack box is stamped November 2023. That is a 9 year shelf life balance. Thanks for the heads up and making me aware of shelf life dates moving forward. Hope this helps.

I ordered these batteries and I assure you, they were "fresh". The expiration date is in 2015. They are new batteries and they work great! I hope this helps....I was wondering the same thing, since they are less than half of what i can find them for locally :)
