What is the freshness (best used by) date of these cells? How long since they were manufactured?

They are suppose to be good until 2021. I haven't used them yet so I don't know if they are good are not. I did send a feedback to Amazon because both packages were open. I bought them as replacement batteries for my car alarm remote. So I hope they work when I need to use them.. I hope that answered your question..

I did not note the date. I bought 2. I used one for at least 1 year without issue. Opened the other 1 year later and it worked without an issue.

the package I have says they were produced in December of 2012 and their "Best Before" date is December 2014. Seems like a decent shelf life to me.

there is a date on mine and it was fresh when I purchased it ... you can read the explanation of codes here: http://www.ebay.com/gds/Mary-Kay-Product-Shelf-Life-Secrets-Revealed-/10000000000087831/g.html

I don't remember if there is a date on the packets but I can tell you they are fresh when they arrive. When they start to turn they are slimy. If your weather is hot keep them in the frig. They will turn in the heat. I kept them in the frig. I can tell you they are really good. I will be buying them again.

A best by date is on the bottom of the can. The date on my current batch is Jan. 2017

They were fresh. Not sure if there was a best to use by date. I open the packs and put them in an airtight container and they stay fresh.

They have a 2 year shelf life unopened. The quality of this product is unsurpassed. Although not required I refrigerate mine after opening.

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

There were no expiration dates on the battery, the packaging, or the outside wrapper package. I will say they all look like they are in very good condition, none of them were swollen (which they will do if they have been exposed to heat or old) and so far all the ones I've used over the past 4 or 5 months have worked great. The Brand I received says "WAMA" "Micro Lithium Cell" at the top with an icon of a calculator at the top.

No. The one I got were already 3-1:2 years old. Guarrenteed freshness was 3 to 5 years. Do the math.

I'm not sure if they were dated. I did not notice. I buy them for my radio at work and I've never had a problem with them. Duracell is a very good brand of battery regardless if it had a date or not.

I don't have the exact dates because I don't have the original packaging anymore. But that being said, the candy was very fresh and tasty. And I have ordered them more then once and I have never had a problem with any of them being old or stale.

Peter, there are two dates on the cells. That may be why we see conflicting dates. On the black part of the label, there is a month (abbreviated and a year). that is the "Best By" date. Around the copper end, there is a date in the format YYYY-MM. That is the date of manufacture. Don't hesitate,they were good for me and I suspect you will be pleased.Jim W

Boxes are marked "2015-04" (arrived 5/3/14) Have been buying them through Amazon for a couple of years, this is the freshest batch I've seen. Never got any that were expired.

I don't know. I usually use mine within a month or so and they are fine. They are individually wrapped in a "vacuum" type package so I am guessing they have a long shelf life.

I did not. The date on the batteries was: March 2016. Although the seven-year freshness may be important, I will have used these batteries within the first couple of years. The price is good and if the battery lasts, I am satisfied.

The following data is on the back of the battery: CELL ORIGIN JAPAN FINISHED IN CHINA 20071108 RJA5133. The other battery I bought and installed as an OEM replacement has the same data and is still working great. However, to answer your question, I can not verify that this data represents the date of manufacture. Hope this helps.
